High School ROTC Member May Not Wear Hijab In Uniform
Fox News reported last week on the case of a 14-year old Muslim high school girl in Brentwood, Tennessee who has quit her high school's Junior ROTC program because she was not permitted to wear a headscarf (hijab) while in uniform in the Homecoming parade. The school says it must follow Army regulations which do not permit religious garb that is exposed or covers the uniform. [Thanks to God and Country blog for the lead.]
