High School Provides Sport Hijabs to Muslim Student Athletes
As the minority majority rises...we'll see more and more of this.

"Traditional hijabs, which are garments many Muslim women use to cover their hair in an expression of their faith, are not typically conducive to the physical rigors of an athlete’s life. “We’d have someone right in the middle of a tennis match and she’s trying to fix her hijab while trying to hit the ball,” Craig explains.
Sulwan Ahmed, a high school junior who plays on the lacrosse team, told Yahoo Style about the difficulties of wearing her hijab while also trying to play her best. “I’m a goalie, so if I don’t watch the ball for a second, that’s a decision that could lead to the other team scoring on us,” Ahmed said. “With a regular hijab it was really hard and I was always adjusting it.”"
This one kills me:
"Deering’s tennis team co-captains Liva Piece and Anaise Manikunda — neither of whom are Muslim — went ahead and set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to get enough hijabs for all the Muslim girls on the school’s tennis team. “We wanted to help students feel more included,”"
Do you think they'd include their "western friends" in THEIR social circle? Have them parade around with...an ankle showing...in their mosque?
Tolerance goes ONE WAY...their way. Ans as the minority majority grows...they'll get their way more and more.
"She recalls the panic of showing up to try-outs where all the other girls wore high ponytails, shorts, and knee-high socks. “In my makeshift ‘modest’ outfit that I threw together at home, I felt so painfully out of place and like I didn’t belong on the team. "
Like this will fix that?
