Student Kicked Off Flight for Speaking Arabic

A California college student is seeking an apology from Southwest after he said he was kicked off a flight earlier this month for speaking Arabic on the plane.

Khairuldeen Makhzoom, 26, said authorities ordered him to get off the plane moments after he had boarded and had ended a phone call to his uncle in Baghdad, according to CNN. The University of California, Berkeley student told the news outlet he was chatting to his relative about his dinner with U.N.
