Democrats may change rule to allow Muslim members of Congress to wear headscarves

Democrats in Congress are planning to update their rules to allow religious headwear in the chamber, a change that most immediately would benefit Representative-elect Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf.

The proposal is included in a number of rule changes Democrats plan to put in place when they take over the House next year. Hats, and with them, head coverings of any kind, have been banned in Congress for 181 years.

Maybe they'll also allow them to fly the Palestinian flag in their offices or wrap themselves in the Pallie flag like the Muslim babe from Michigan who just got elected to the House of Reps did during her victory celebration.

I thought they were called, "Hijabs?"  Think Progress might be hiding things, which is why they aren't typically a go-to source for news for me.

It's definitely a left wing news source. You can still get decent information from them if you just keep that in mind.

Agreed.  I still see stuff from Common Dreams from time to time.

Can’t be any worse than that cowboy hat worn by a Florida Rat Congresswoman. Give them all burkas for all I care.

She's actually in violation of House rules by wearing that stupid hat collection of her's too.
