RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) — A Muslim high school student says she’s saddened and hurt after being identified in her California high school’s yearbook as “Isis Phillips.”
Bayan Zehlif has posted a photo on Facebook of what she says is her picture with the name “Isis Phillips” underneath it in the Los Osos High School yearbook. She writes in the post that she’s “extremely saddened, disgusted, hurt and embarrassed.” She says the school reached out and told her it was a ‘typo,’ but she adds “I beg to differ.”
Chaffey Joint Union High School District Superintendent Mat Holton tells the Los Angeles Times that Zehlif was misidentified as another student with the name Isis. He says an investigation will be conducted.
Holton tells the newspaper yearbook distribution has been halted until the error is fixed.

I’d still sue. Trump does it all the time. It gets everyone’s attention.
But in this case, we all know this was an intentional action to defame someone. Why not make life miserable for whomever made the bigoted decision…and everyone else who knew but didn’t say anything? Some of them might not get into the college they wanted or lose their scholarships.
Bigots have to learn that bad decisions will have consequences. If we start when they are young, maybe they wouldn’t end up being a pig like Trump by the time they are fully grown?
But, but, but the one who did this will lose their perfect attendance cert if we suspend them. Then their daddy is a politician. We’ll punish someone you can bet on that. How about the student who complained.
I think she has a case, because the student next to her is identified as Build that Wall Rodriguez.
Next she ought to sue TPM for the stupid stock photo they are purporting to be about her.
