lol. That could make a funny YOutube video.
Sadly, once we reach full burka status the problem will solve itself since they won't let girls go to school anyway.

They said they waived the safety rule when the parents said they would accept responsibility if something happened to their daughter. That SOUNDS good at first but you can bet that if something DID happen they would be quick to sue the school system. Also, what kind of parents are more concerned about making their kid wear a hijab than about the potential of a serious neck injury (the hijab wraps completely around the neck)?
If she misses a shot can we stone her? Isn't that in the Koran somewhere? (To shoot like an infidel? )

You are aware that in many school districts the wearing of jewelery is forbidden. You know, like those Crucifix and St. Christopher medals.

I guess now they will allowed to wear them. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

1. You have absolutely no evidence for this claim.

2. Do any of you find it ironic that you will scream and shout for freedom and "don't tread on me", but are the FIRST to complain when other people seek and receive freedom?

This is the equivalent of a governing body removing a regulation to let people take personal responsiblity, and yet you all contradict your core values because they're Muslim. Hypocrites.

Are those rules in effect in this particular school district?

Also - how come I never see outrage over Christian nuns covered from head to toe on here? I just don't understand the hypocrisy. Makes it hard to believe it's anything more than bigotry.

It's not part of the uniform. Suppose boy basketball players want to wear the little round hats (sorry, can't recall what those are called), or girls want to wear full make-up and fancy up-dos? I don't think the coach would allow it.

As far as I know, you can only wear the uniform, no earrings, no special anything that you might otherwise wear. I am sure it won't hurt them to take it off for an hour.

People wear additions to uniforms all the time - an armband, a wristband, a headband, gloves, a tribute to a lost person, goggles... I suspect you don't understand much about Islam to make the last statement.

No, I don't know anything about Islam. What would happen if they were to take it off for one hour?
