"A district spokesman told the site officials consulted with an attorney about the World Hijab Day event, and were advised that 'there would be more of a legal issue if the school said no to the event' than to hold lessons on the Muslim scarf." Really? What kind of a legal issue? Would the school be brought up on charges of "Islamophobia"? Is that trumped-up propaganda term a crime now?
School board president Van Henri White said of the Hijab Day organizer, student Eman Muthana: "She's not trying to make anybody else anything other than who they are, but she wants people to accept who she is." How wonderful. How incandescently multicultural, with a soupçon of victimhood thrown in: young Eman just wants acceptance, you greasy Islamophobes. Can't you just accept her?
I'll lead the way. Eman Muthana, I accept you. If you want to wear the hijab, please don't think that I have the slightest objection; I don't. What I do wonder is when Rochester's World School of Inquiry will be holding World Uncovered Hair Day, in honor of Aqsa Parvez, whose Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. When will Rochester's World School of Inquiry be celebrating the memory of Aqsa and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn't wearing a hijab? And of the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; and of Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; and of Amira Osman Hamid, who faces whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; and of the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized for her family for refusing to wear the hijab; and of the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told that they had to wear the hijab or be fired; and of the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren't wearing hijab; and of the women also in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; and of the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; and of the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; and of the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; and of the women in Iran who protested against the regime by daring to take off their legally-required hijab; and of the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn't wear hijab; and of the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents, and all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab?
When is their day? When will anyone stand in solidarity with them? Those who taunt or brutalize hijab-wearing women are louts and creeps, and should be prosecuted if they commit any acts of violence. At the same time, the women who don't wear hijab in Muslim countries are far m"A district spokesman told the site officials consulted with an attorney about the World Hijab Day event, and were advised that 'there would be more of a legal issue if the school said no to the event' than to hold lessons on the Muslim scarf."

It’s not a matter of intelligence, ladyjane. It’s a matter of policy.
They are under orders to avoid calling any attack terrorism for as long as possible, no matter the evidence or perpetrator.
Eventually they will say that the person was mentally off and even though he was Muslim, this has nothing to do with Islam.
I would be sure to wear a Cross and Rebel shirt and might even shave my head.
Lemme guess... because they're not allowed to restrain them, right?
Most parents today don’t even know what parenting is.
They have no idea who their kids teachers based on my experience around here.
Hell some parents moan , but they never call the school or the school board and protest, far too much work for them to do that and of course they have to think about what others will think about them. sigh.
Hardly a mention of the muslim guy killing people and of course if they do mention it they always end with the report by saying “ The motive is unclear at the present time.”
Why not have a “crucifix/cross” day. Let the hijab wearers put those on!
No idea what the motive is, mmmm lets see, oh yeas he wanted to kill non muslims, shame the feds can’t say that frigging idiots.
if this is an inner city school, a lot of the parents are black who love anything antiwhite..
Well, I’m sure the school will follow this up with a day when Muslim students will be required to wear a Crucifix or Star of David so they can also gain a better understanding of religions other than their own.
What about Muslim wearing short shorts and going braless etc? Oh, and eating BLT. And quote from the Bible.
I think that the Democrats should start lobbying for hijabs for Democrat women.
NEXT I think that they should start lobbying for veils, very thick ones, for those same women.
We wouldn't have to look at Hitlery's face anymore. THAT would be a plus in my book.
Also ALL women could wear their hijab on BAD HAIR days. We all have them.
They should NOT eat any bacon...MORE FOR ME!!!
What they're doing is condoning all the mass murders that the mussies do in the name of that dead guy buried out in the desert.
A Perfect Description!
Well Said!
Parents of boys should have had them wear yamukles. That would have been interesting.
And stop watching Kevin Bacon.
Yes and pork BBQ’s unto him as well.
Stone the organizers.
When will the non muslims start strapping bombs and lopping off heads.”
If the girls are required to wear hajibs will they strap suicide vests to the boys as well? Seems sexist not to have all genders equally participate. And will students self-identify their genders so they decide Scarf? or Vest?
It would be better if the women were to emulate the example of Tahirih who, at the Conference of Badasht, cast off her veil to signal the abrogation of Shariah law.
