Flag Football Team Wears Hijab To Support Irum Kham, Muslim Player, At Florida School

THE HUFFINGTON POST | TEEN
FLORIDA - A flag football team took a stand against discrimination by donning hijabs in support of their Muslim teammate. Members of the West Broward High School team wore the traditional Muslim headdress during the final game of their regular season in order to support their 17-year-old captain, Irum Kham, who has often been the victim of name-calling and racial slurs because of her faith, the Sun Sentinel reports.

This is so very complicated. My only wish is that women were the decision-makers for the decisions to restrict or grant the uses of religious garb, or service in general. The stance by these young ballers makes me very proud to be an American.
