A Swedish teacher teaching a class of Muslim refugee students has sparked outrage after she was captured on video screaming one of her students and forcing her to say the word "penis" in Swedish.
The video, which went viral on social media on Saturday, has prompted Swedish authorities to open an investigation.
The video was allegedly filmed in a Swedish language class for refugees at the SFI School in Malmo, Sweden. It shows the teacher yelling at the female student, who, like many others in her class, is seen wearing a hijab.
The teacher's anger was apparently sparked by the student's inability or shyness to name male genitalia in Swedish. During the video, which was filmed by one of the students, the teacher can be heard saying, "What does a man have? What is it called? Say it!" while hitting the student's desk with the palm of her hand.
At one point, another student gets up and asks if she can leave the class. "I'm scared, I want to leave," the student is heard saying. The teacher then directs her anger towards the other student and refuses to allow her to leave the class before locking the door.
