We, as residents of the United States demand the ability to practice our faith openly at George Bush High School, without unnecessary restrictions put unto us. As Muslims, we should not have to identify ourselves with a note, or show you that wearing Hijab is part of our faith. If maintaining a dress code policy requires you to put such restrictions on people of one religion, we suggest you remove said dress code policy from your rules and shift focus to the things that matter. If the school board agrees that Hijab is the most pressing issue, we agree to send you a list of more pressing grievances that the school board should work on. We also agree that the school shouldn't further add dress code regulations until they can regulate the measures already in place. By signing this petition we agree to all of the above statements and demand change, as well as justice.

The administration at George Bush High School can no longer ignore this growing movement against their discriminatory policies. We are gaining real momentum and forcing them to confront the fact that these unfair restrictions have no place in our school.

Let people practice their own religion. Hijab is girls' religious obligation and their protection.
I used to go to George Bush High School and I know that its a great school but I also think that if we get freedom of religion in this country, then we should also choose how we do it!
The school should not discriminate or single out students based on their ethnicity, religion or cultural background. It should promote openness and diversity.
I graduated class of 2015 from Bush High and the fact that this is one of their "issues" is a complete joke. They have other REAL issues they need to be concerned about.
No one should have to jump through hoops to exercise their religion. This is blatantly unconstitutional and disgusting and our girls deserve better. Shame on George Bush High School for their discriminatory dress code regulations.
It's a basic human right. Let them wear what they want and express themselves freely
Shame on yall if you honestly think it's ok dress code against this. Creating more fear is only goong to make it worse. Be wise about this.

Seriously? A note? I went to bush and never have I ever seen something like that happen.
