If you're as ADD as me and can't read a whole article straight through, I'll highlight it for you. Pretty much, in the state of Oregon, public school teachers won't be allowed to wear any religious dress as soon as this bill gets passed, which affects Sikhs, Jews, and of course, us Hijabis.
"Ironically, the proposed legislation is entitled the Oregon Workplace Religious Freedom Act."
Huh? Is it just opposite day and no one decided to tell me?
Read it. What do you think of this?

I am a teacher living in Kentucky and I work at an islamic private school because for some reason this hijabi could not get hired in the public school system, oh well, their loss!
Salaam, and I'm sorry to hear about that. It makes me so frusterated to think that a country that boasts their diversity can be so ignorant!
