Head Scarf Problems in OK USA
From CBS News:The Justice Department filed a complaint against the Muskogee Public School District, saying officials were wrong to suspend an 11-year-old Muslim girl for refusing to remove her head scarf.
"No student should be forced to choose between following her faith and enjoying the benefits of a public education," Assistant Attorney General R. Alexander Acosta said Tuesday. "Religious discrimination has no place in American schools."
The complaint seeks to force the school to change its dress code policy to "ensure there is no discrimination on the basis of religion."
School officials twice suspended sixth-grader Nashala Hearn in October for wearing a head scarf they said violated a dress code prohibiting head coverings, including hats. The child wears the head scarf, or hijab, as part of her observance of the Muslim religion.

While you're at it, make sure to file against those school districts that restrict teachers and students from wearing crosses too.We wouldn't want the Islamofascists to hate us like they do France now would we hamsters?
And afterall, we're talking about the freedom OF religion.
