  • Student At The Citadel Wants To Wear The Hijab

    From David Amicus@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 16 19:09:30 2016
    Why not? Would a Jew be forbidden to wear a kippah or a Sikh a turban? If not then the hijab should be allowed.

    The military academy policy is that cadets be in
    uniform at all times. This student is requesting
    an exception.

    I remember a decision in which the request of a Jewish
    officer to wear a yarmulke / kippah was denied.
