Burnsville elementary school selling ‘school spirit hijabs’ to students (MN)

An elementary school in the Twin Cities suburb of Burnsville is selling “school spirit hijabs” to students at school events and online.

William Byrne Elementary introduced the new “school spirit hijabs” this academic year. Like the school’s T-shirts, the hijabs are marked with the school logo featuring its mascot, Buster the Bulldog.

Unlike the T-shirts, which cost $10 each, the hijabs only cost $6 each.

KARE reports that the idea originated with Maryan Ali, the elementary school’s “Somali cultural liaison,” who pitched it to a mother who volunteers as the spirit wear coordinator for the school’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

“Every student deserves the opportunity to express their school identity and have that feeling of belonging,” spirit wear coordinator Carla Valadez said, according to KARE. “I was of course so grateful that [Ali] identified this need in the community. I worked with the whole PTO, and this immediately became a very important initiative for us.”

As part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, Burnsville has a notable Somali Muslim minority.

According to the left-wing Sahan Journal, 15% of students enrolled in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District speak Somali at home, while approximately two-thirds of all students are non-white.

Thus, Somali Muslims have come to exert a stronger pull in positions of influence, such as the school board.

In related news, Faribault Public Schools removed all pork offerings from their school cafeterias for the new school year to accommodate Muslim students. The city of Faribault is estimated to have roughly 4,000 Somali residents out of 24,000 total residents.

“We didn’t have to go through red tape. We didn’t have to shut down the [school board] meeting. We had complete cohesiveness and there is no pork in the menu for the entire Faribault school district. So this is wonderful when the Muslim culture does not eat pork,” activist Tiffini Flynn Forslund said in a video describing the menu change.

“They changed recipes. They would love to hire Somali representation,” she continued. “And so this is just a wonderful, welcoming, culture-competent [sic] to move forward, to graduate kids. When everybody’s happy, eating well, working together, that is a win for the community.”

I saw a t-shirt the other day that read...

“Will trade racists for refugees”

Big, fat and ugly chick, about 16 with a couple of nose rings.

Hi.

IIRC one of those women was raped and killed by an Afghani.

Or was it in NJ?

Will these hijabs come with a swastika emblem, or will that cost extra?

I don’t think a Muslim is going to wear an article of clothing with the image of Buster The Bulldog on it.

Do they care? I think the self-hatred it to such an extend they may enjoy it the same way people who self-harm via cutting, etc. ‘enjoy’ it. You can’t look at these people through logical perspectives, but rather at people who hate themselves, their culture, their country and people like us. They’re cultural ‘suicide bombers’.

I hope those elementary school teachers don’t tell the students that 6 year olds are old enough to be thighed according to Muhammad (pieces unto him).

I’d buy a school spirit scimitar like the arabs in the Three Stooges used.

Chain them to chairs and play 9/11/01 video for them, for hours. Then ask them if they still want to emulate murderers who kill women for “honor” and any other puny reason they can concoct. I wonder how many hijabs the idiots would then want to buy. They are a perfect example of why CRT must be banned.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Why don’t the Somalis and other Muslims set up their own schools? Of course Muslim tradition would barr girls from getting an education
