Hijab Day happened at a taxpayer-funded charter school in the suburbs of Sacramento on Wednesday, Jan. 28. All female students — but only female students — were encouraged to wear Muslim headscarves...1) Learning how to wear a scarf? What a stupid project, especially for a senior.
(Principal) Rutten said that Hijab Day was part of a student’s senior project. The student wanted to teach other students how to wear Muslim headscarves properly.
2) That's a school where people are so "open minded" that their brains fall out.
3) Maybe next they can celebrate Islamic State day and cut someone's head off.

If you sign up for a charter school you get what you deserve. You also don't get to complain about the very freedoms you accepted by opting out of a pure public school.
Would I be offended by this? Sure. But you don't get to let the school make the rules, then complain about them.
This "National Hijab Day" was trending on Facebook, too. The whole thing is silly--the common notion of diversity in many people's head involves cultural norms, like food, language and dress. So here we have a day where women are encourage to dress-up as somebody else, just for one day, so that they can feel like they accomplished something...
What was accomplished? Well, that's not important, as long as one is SEEN to be making a statement.
Islam is a lot more than just women's head covering, but guilty white liberals don't want to go to those other, darker regions, 'cause they're icky.
Also, we clearly need to understand traditional Scottish culture better--next week it's National Kilt Day! After all, not everybody understands how to wear a kilt or why they are worn....
I have Muslim friends who are EXTREMELY offended by Hijab day. To them, it negates the sacred, humble, modest meanings of their headscarfs. Mind you, these are people who escaped radical Islam run countries, like Syria, and believe in the modest and spiritual reasons for wearing a Hijab, not the degredation of women reasoning of the radicals. These young women are so offended seeing Hijab Day participators wearing headscarfs accompanied by low cut, too tight tops, or in some cases, even short shorts. It can be viewed as highly offensive to mock modesty and humility with a headscarf but then show off three feet of leg in short cut offs. I feel the same way when people use crosses, or the upside down St. Peter's cross as part of their fashion or wardrobe but then renounce religion and religious symbols. Don't desecrate sacred symbols and customs, that is offensive.
It's interesting how people can be offended by wearing hijab incorrectly, yet if I correct a kid for wearing a rosary as a piece of jewelry, I can be reprimanded. Never mind that wearing gang apparel and a rosary is offensive to Catholics.....what a twisted world we live in today.
