OAK LAWN, Ill. – About two dozen women teachers at Richards High School donned Muslim hijabs at school this week to spark conversations about the religion and Donald Trump’s travel ban on countries with terrorist ties.
Two teachers at the school came up with the idea to celebrate World Hijab Day – “a day for us to walk in their shoes, to experience it, which I feel I did,” Health teacher Allison Williams told the Chicago Tribune.
Teacher Joyce Cruse said she wrapped her head with the Muslim religious scarf to bring her history lessons “to the present” for her students.
