A family member of the Mystic Valley Regional Charter School student posted on social media a picture of the “School Uniform Compliance Form” the student received from a teacher for the hijab on Thursday. In the description of the infraction, the headscarf worn by Muslim women was misspelled as “jihab.”
School Superintendent Alex Dan said there were no consequences given to the student and that the form sent home was meant to start the conversation with the family about obtaining a religious accommodation. But Dan acknowledged that the situation was mishandled.
CAIR-Massachusetts Executive Director Tahirah Amatul-Wadud said wearing a hijab or other religious attire shouldn’t require families to seek an accommodation.
How did that even happen at all. Unless they live under a rock they know exactly what a hijab is and why it is worn.
This is Islamophobia
The Greatest Generation gave us safe and thriving public schools, not charter schools and private like capitalistic Republicans want. Republicans are destroying their legacy. Pathetic, weakling, Trumpturd trolls attack with name calling & insults . They‘Re wrong on all issues
Betsy DeVos made money regardless
Apparently they thought they were handling it appropriately until it became news. Don't let the racists and bigots off the hook. Continue to call them out at all points. They thought this was ok until now.
They probably had a no hoodie rule.🤷♂️
Why have a uniform policy at all if people can opt out?
Lordy.
Why should he get to wear a dress and all other kids have to wear uniforms?!!
Why do we act like this country is about freedom of religion anymore
