And if the teacher recommended the girls follow their Christian faith (assumed) more closely and remained chaste and performed acts of charity would she still have a job?
Interesting that the students found there was no discrimination while wearing the hijab but both of the Islamic women were concerned about it and felt they would be demeaned in some way.
That leads me to ask if it's the hijab that makes you paranoid or Islam?
If they feel more ‘feminine’ wearing the scarves then they clearly do not understand Islamic law.
But what the hey....the sand washes out.

Americans generally will only treat you differently if your Hijab is ticking — otherwise, wear whatever floats your boat.
H
Heads will roll.

Oh just peachy. Tax dollars at "work."
Yeah, Katie, that hijab goes well with the knee-length skirt.
Moron.
studying a religion in public school? WTF?
The answer to your questions regarding a Christian teacher’s exhortation to chastity and charity is probably “yes.”
Barring the headscarf, the girls are obviously American in dress, manner and language. People were probably curious about why any American girl would be so foolish.

A quick web search shows that it’s a private school, not public. And they do also offer Christian-themed coursework.
She looks like she’s wearing a minnie mouse costume without ears.
Odds are good that your grandmothers wore scarves.
That didn't turn them into Moslems.

When I see them in public I always look for wires.
I see enslaved Muslim women wearing headscarves in my local supermarket and neighborhood on an every day basis. No one bothers them. There is no harassment. In the days after the 9/11 attacks, Muslims went about their business without being harmed in any way. If radical Christians had declared holy war on the Muslim world and flew planes into buildings in Saudi Arabia, how would Christians in Muslim societies have been treated? They would have been slaughtered on the streets by “tolerant” Muslims.
LOL - not a bad idea.
Look for that disproportionate top-heavy look as well.
Truth be told!
Silly young females. They, 1) don’t know what “feminine” is, given that it is not even definable. 2) They feel better because they are getting more ATTENTION, which is something all teenage girls crave; like breathing air.
Well put, and quite true. This experiment was quite flawed, but I think the teacher was trying to teach something in good faith: ie, why she is here (US) and not over “there”.
