An eighth grader in Massachusetts was told she was violating uniform when she wore her hijab to school.
When the girl showed up for the first day of classes at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School last week, she was written up for violating the dress code.
A photo of the school uniform compliance form shows the teacher also misspelled hijab – the headscarf worn by Muslim women – as “jihab.” The school admitted the “handling of the situation came across as insensitive” and explained that students can wear religious attire as long as they have a letter from a member of their clergy about it.Copyright 2022 WCVB via CNN Newsource.
