Nashala Hearn will get support from the federal government in her fight to wear her hijab to school.
The Benjamin Franklin Science Academy in Muskogee, Okla., made a dress code against hats, caps, bandannas or jacket hoods inside school buildings.
It's school administrators' inability to make any distinction between a baseball cap and a hijab or between wearing pink and wearing gang colors or between having a bread knife in the back of a pickup truck and threatening to shoot someone that makes them look like clowns and jokers.
"No student should be forced to choose between following her faith and enjoying the benefits of a public education," said Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Alex Acosta.
That's right.
