(WIBW) Students staged a peaceful demonstration at Junction City High School in regards to alleged comments of an administrator.
Junction City High School said it is currently investigating an incident that encouraged some students to conduct a peaceful demonstration at the school on Wednesday. It said the demonstration has ended and students have returned to class.
Students at the high school told 13 NEWS that a student claimed an administrator told them they could not wear a hijab in school. A hijab is a religious head covering worn by some Muslim women in public.
The district said this is an ongoing investigation and it is unable to comment on the matters involving students out of respect for their privacy.
