CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — A Muslim student admitted to the Class of 2020 Corps of Cadets at The Citadel will not be allowed to wear a religious headscarf with the military college's standard uniform.

Good luck with him trying. The Citadel is NOT a Service Academy, and thus not under direct Federal sway. . .
GO Bulldogs !!
If that student hadn’t sacrificed himself to publicize the issue, I expect the administration would have rolled over for the Muzzis.
Why would he want to go to school there? Makes no sense.

Another Trump Effect, perhaps?
Why did some strip clubbing muzzies from Saudi Arabia want to attend flight school in the US?
