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.

In a statement released by Citadel President Lt. Gen. John Rosa, the decision to reject the request came from an "essential" need to standardize the appearance of the cadets regardless of their religious requirements.

"This process reflects an initial relinquishing of self during which cadets learn the value of teamwork to function as a single unit. Upon graduation, The Citadel's graduates are prepared to enter a life committed to principled leadership in military service and civilian careers," Rosa said in the statement.

She really shouldn’t be there in the first place. This is so obviously a plant. What kind of vetting did they do?

They claim it is about "not showing hair" because apparently female hair is tempting...

Solution!

Shaven Heads have no hair.

They still take Federal dollars so the feds have a lever when they decide to use it.

I’m a Citadel man and all alumni owe Cadet Nick Pinelli a tremendous debt of gratitude for his sacrifice in exposing this attempted PC Muslim infiltration of the Long Grey Line.

Because of Mr. Pinelli, we fired off swarms of emails to The Citadel Board of Visitors denouncing the bringing of Shariah to the Corps. LTC Rosa has been president for over a decade and is PC-inclusive to the max, but this time he had a fire lit under him, and backed off under pressure.

Meanwhile Cadet Pinelli has to walk punishment tours until the day he graduates. That is an injustice in itself.

But thanks to him there will be no Muslimah Shannon Faulkner in the ranks this fall. Bravo, Nick!

Will The Citadel fold before the lawsuit is filed or after the Judge awards damages to the muslim-with-headscarf?

Why are muzies admitted into the place? izzlam is a political system that explicitly promotes the violent overthrow of our form of government, and its members are not eligible to live in the USA, let alone join the Citadel.

The US Army has already caved to a Sikh and his turban.

The Citadel is a private school, in theory not under the control of obummer and his surrender monkeys.

Sick of all of this crap in the last few years, homosexual marriage, cross dressing men wanting to be in girls locker rooms and showers. illegals getting benefits, illegals allowed to stay, muslims demanding we have to change our society to suit them.
