This sort of idiocy just radicalizes young Muslims

I gotta agree in this case. What good does this do? It's not as if she is demanding to cover her face in a drivers license photo or not have sell pork if after she chose to work in a grocery store. She simply found a way to meet her religious needs while participating in American culture. It sure doesn't seem to give her a competitive edge. I say let her run in the outfit and be an example to other young Muslims that our culture is one that will accept differences (within reason). It is their old culture back in its birthplace that is the exclusive and backwards culture.

***Uniforms are required to be “a single-solid color and unadorned, except for a single school name or insignia no more than 2 1/4 inches,” he said.

Rogers said he knew Kelly was wearing the uniform for religious reasons and that he offered her several options to conform to the rules while still respecting her faith, including placing a plain T-shirt over her unitard and then wearing her team uniform over it.***

She refused acceptable options.
