WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Justice Department announced Tuesday the government’s civil rights lawyers have jumped into a legal case to support a Muslim girl’s right to wear a head scarf in a public school.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Alex Acosta said government lawyers would support 11-year-old Nashala Hearn, a sixth-grade student who has sued the Muskogee, Oklahoma, Public School District for ordering her to remove her head scarf, or hijab, because it violated the dress code of the Benjamin Franklin Science Academy, which she attended.

Back when I was in public school we had Louis Farakhan followers dressed in muslim type garb minus the face scarf and no one cared then.

But then we had the biker dudes with Zig/Zag man t shirts oily hair and jeans.

Ect Ect...times have changed and not for the better.
