Government School Enforces Sharia Dress Code For Non-Muslim Schoolgirls
The Douglas County School District in
Colorado, under fire for saying that schoolgirls might have to cover up from
head to ankle for a field trip to a Muslim mosque, has confirmed that such
Shariah requirements will be enforced on the outing.
“Students who choose to attend the
[Rocky Heights Middle School] world religion field trip are expected to respect
the dress code of the host facility,” the school said in a statement posted
online.
The explanation followed a firestorm of
criticism of the school for announcing the field trip for seventh-grade
students and including a note that the Shariah dress code could be enforced.
The note sent to families, according to
a report from Islam expert and commentator Pamela Geller, said: “The world
religions field trip is next Tuesday, January 13. We will be visiting the
Denver Mosque, the Assumption Greek Orthodox Cathedral, and the Rodef-Shalom
Synagogue. We will then eat lunch at Park Meadows Food Court. Students must
either bring a sack lunch or money to purchase lunch at the food court.”
It continued: “THERE IS A DRESS CODE FOR
THIS TRIP: All students must wear appropriate long pants. Ankles must be
covered. Girls must bring wide scarves or hooded sweatshirts for the mosque.”
Geller said the “subjugation and oppression
of women are enshrined under the Shariah.”
“Young school girls should not be forced
to ‘respect’ a dress code that represents honor violence, female genital
mutilation, forced marriage, child marriage, et al,” she wrote.
