I just think we have better things to do than demand an 11-year-old girl take off a stupid little headscarf.

And if she wore a swastika instead? Should we allow other forms of Nazis to wear their uniforms in our schools?

Sorry. Much as I wish I could agree, I can't quite see the equation of a 11 year old girl covering her head according to a tradition that is meant to protect modesty with wearing a symbol with systematic genocide. I also fail to see how taking such a stance makes us any better than they are. I was under the impression that we're the good guys and that we follow the higher standard.
