“The issue arose after Ravenwood High School freshman Demin Zawity dropped out of JROTC when she was told she couldn’t wear her headscarf in a homecoming event. As a Muslim, she said, she believes the attire protects her modesty. “

Then I submit that if she is concerned about protecting her modesty the military is not a line of work she should pursue. Get with the program private.

The issue arose after Ravenwood High School freshman Demin Zawity dropped out of JROTC when she was told she couldn’t wear her headscarf in a homecoming event.

Was she planning to attend the event with an escort by her brother or father? If not she's a hypocrite and just wants to make trouble.

She is a hypocrite. Moves in, files a discrimination complaint/lawsuit, then boogies on to avoid the fallout. She is no longer in JROTC. Just another muslime shitting in the nest and skeddadling before the rest of the chickens come home to roost.
