Stuyvesant High School has eliminated girls-only swimming classes, forcing female Muslim students to sacrifice the modesty their religion demands if they want to earn a prestigious diploma.
But since swimming classes, halted during the pandemic, resumed last fall, the 3,300-student school has dropped the single-gender option, saying the popularity of the girls’ classes created a programming logjam. “I’m not comfortable swimming with boys because I’m Muslim and it’s really hard for us,” she said. “I can’t believe the school would change it because it’s been a fundamental part of Stuy, and now it’s changed all of a sudden.”, which requires schools to grant “accommodation of religious observances and practices,” when possible, Department of Education insiders told The Post.student newspaper the girls’ swim gym was removed because “it created a major issue, mostly with programming.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I literally don’t Fucking care. You’re lucky your parents didn’t force u into Islamic school like mine did. I wish i could swim in school we had no sports or physical activity at all. Just don’t go to the swim team or ask for accommodations, y’all are sexualizing other kids
Tough fucking shit.
chadfelixg Wait until they have to share a locker room with a dude that’s thinks he’s a lady.
This is absurd & ridiculous- go find another school!!!
Stop trying to force your Sharia Law onto America. You are free to get a religious exemption but, keep you’re bs out of our freedom.
They have to respect the bodily autonomy of others. One likes bikini, one likes burkini.
Then move out the country
Muslim👎
Go swim in your own country then.
😒
How is it immodest? It’s just swim!
Stop already....You have to abide by us
Modern Feminism in NYC.
No problem. There is other schools!
This is a serious problem with letting people in who have a very different attitude towards these things - something like this will come up. We have to get agreement from immigrants that they understand and accept American norms. Or not let them in.
So these girls never go to a beach or any pool (public areas) at any time in their lives?
Wokeism is doing more for modesty than the Catholic Church could have ever imagined.
You hate our western values, please go to a great Muslim country. There are plenty.
Wonder their thoughts on transgenders
Stuyvesant is cigarette company
White progressive: Muslim protest, brave. Christian protest, racist.
Sorry if you’re religion forces you to be seperate from the opposite sex your religion has issues.
Why don’t they stop being so normalphobic, these “inclusive” ppl aren’t so inclusive ever it seems
Wait until they meet the transkids
Go back to Muslim land, ladies.
What about the trans girls?
Good for these girls. The school should go back to all girls swimming class . Keep fighting for your religious rights. Proud of you for speaking up
Not one person would be looking their way 🤮
Waitll they have trans students in the locker rooms.
So if I go into a restaurant and ask they won't allow muslim ppl while I eat cause I don't feel right doing so it's totally fine and I won't be called a racist, right?
It’s First world problems when the Olympic sized swimming pool at your high school is causing division
Waterproof hijab and modest swimwear. There you go. Now, leave me be
Private schools exist
Do they mean swimming w guys pretending to be women? I guess I’m confused
Don't they know how to boycott?
Imagine fleeing a violent shithole and then having the balls to demand the location you fled to act the same way
Isn’t this one of the wealthiest, most privileged high schools in the country? A bunch of rich girls manufacturing drama.
Swim classes with boys Have those school officials lost their minds!!! Religion aside, it’s just common sense!!! In high school I was so self conscious in gym/lock rooms. If they would’ve made it unisex, I would’ve lost my sht!! These are kids. They forgot that?
Wait until they see the library porn.
Jak sie masz! I support my fellow lady swimmers
And here come all the freedom of religion hypocrites
The Islamic religon might be the hero America needs now
The same people that say we must cater to Muslim modesty culture also want to force trans and gay literature on to our children. The goal is to destroy the western family and culture in the name of tolerance.
Hell yeah, girls
They should be glad they have a pool. At the old Stuy, that I attended………..
How’s that assimilation going?
Who gives a f .. just transfer..
There's a protest for everything if you're a POC
Welcome to America. If you don’t like it, go somewhere else.
I say let’s bring Sharia Law to the United States. I’d bet these girls would fall in line real quick.
They come to this country and immediately try to make it just like the shit hole they just escaped from
I was ready to rip into the students but this is a reasonable request….school just has to figure it out….
Then they can go to school elsewhere.
Pass or fail
If the Muslims started pushing back on trans athletes, the liberals who are pushing the agenda heads would explode.
Modestly attired attention whores. Keep that sharia shit show in the sand.
😂
Every fringe group thinks they can change and dictate how normal people live their lives. It’s sick.
Was it all of the swinging richards in the locker room?
They better get used to having Willy wonka running around niked in locker room flashing Willy the whale
Requiring a swimming class for a diploma is ridiculous.
I guess they will need to transfer to another school.
What about trans women?
