(WIBW) Students at Junction City High School are getting some outside help to change a policy that may discriminate.
The Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations says it welcomed the statement by the Junction City School District to investigate an incident after an administrator allegedly demanded a female student remove her hijab during school hours.
CAIR-Kansas said students subsequently organized a peaceful walkout in solidarity with their classmate in protest against religious discrimination.
“We will closely monitor the investigation, but strongly believe and demand that the Junction City High School and its school district must examine policies to determine if changes must be made to prevent such incidents in the future,” said CAIR-Kansas Board Chair Moussa Elbayoumy.
