Hijab is not fashion. It reflects your identity, faith and self worth

the hijab is so important to muslim girls and women! demanding it be a specific color to get an education at this school is ridiculous. hijab color should not be apart of dress code regulations. like this is religion, this is not dress up to be critiqued

I don’t think ESUMS staff should be able to tell students what color hijabs they can and cannot wear. That is very unfair, Muslim girls should have the freedom to express themselves just as any girl who dyes their hair does. There’s nobody in a class that would be distracted by a hijab. The last time I checked, specific hijab colors were not in the ESUMS handbook. It wasn’t stated in orientation either. Therefore, it isn’t official. Even if it were official, they have no right to do that.

Policies such as these should not be inflicted upon the youth! Uniforms should be enough - students should have the freedom to express whatever they want in other ways, and the hijab is one beautiful example!

“Couldn’t agree more. The color of someone’s hijab doesn’t change the fact that they’re wearing one. If we’re following the dress code, there shouldn’t be a reason to restrict something that’s part of our faith.”

The hijab is not just an accessory or a piece of clothing. We wear it for religious purposes, not for the fun of it. So we have the right to wear it in whatever color we’d like to.

A hijab is a form of self expression and to prohibit certain colors being worn is almost a form a restricting that self expression.

A hijab is not an accessory, it’s a very important part of their religion and culture. If other people can dye their hair whatever color they please, then muslim girls should be able to do the same with their hijab. It’s a way of self expression, not a distraction.

Allowing any color will show true inclusion for hjabis because it lets them express themseleves through their hijab.

I think following the dress code should be enough. Hijab colors clearly aren’t a distraction towards anyone, and it seems incredibly disrespectful towards Muslims by restricting them from expressing their religion in a way that isn’t affecting anyone.

The petition argues that if students can express themselves through hairstyles, hair color, accessories, then students who wear hijabs should have similar freedom to express individuality through hijab colors.

I feel as though all muslim students should have the right to be able to wear whatever color hijab they want, especially if they are still following the dress code. Just as others can use their hair to express themselves, we use our hijabs to express ourselves.
