Parents in Rochester, NY, are furious after finding out that their kids were to participate in a “World Hijab Day” event. The event that encouraged girls to wear the Muslim religious head covering was started after a sophomore by the name of Eman Muthana wrote a letter to Principal Sheela Webster, asking if the school can put on the event so that the other students will know how she feels. Did that mean that she wanted the other girls in the school to feel oppressed?
The worst part about it is the fact that the school neither gave the parents warning about the event or asked their opinion on it. Instead, the parents found out through the local news and Internet media. Principal Webster approved the event, claiming that the purpose behind it was to educate students about the religious purposes behind the hijab. However, another teacher claimed the event had nothing to do with religion, but instead the cloth that the hijab was made out of. It looks like they didn’t get their stories straight beforehand.

Joshua Labelle Larry HughesFirst Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Meaning, they cannot promote one religion only or one over the other. Also meaning, NO PREFERENCE SHALL BE GIVEN. My point was that if you allow any religion is school, especially in todays world, it will be focused on Islam. This is no longer the 1960’s. I am not an atheist, I am a Christian that doesn’t want to see our children in public schools be brainwashed with Islam.
Katie Gardner Devane Exactly right. This is not an atheist thing. To the contrary, Christians should not want any religion in public schools today. As we see by this article and hundreds like it, Islam takes center stage
Katie Harder Devane. What James Madison was important. But Separation of Church and State is not in the constitution. Government will make no law is not the same. It means Government can not force us to a Religion. That’s what we were getting away from. No he was a wise man standing for being carefull
F**k Islam and Mohammed and Allah and obama
This lady is lucky that my granddaughter don’t go to this school because i would have tied that hijab around her neck.
I heard they are going to have a nudist day in many Muslim schools in Michigan next week is that true?
It is not going to stop until America stands up to our freedom like Canada did!
F**k Islam
