Breaking: Miss World America Strips Conservative Activist Kathy Zhu of Miss Michigan Title Over Her Refusing to Wear Hijab
Avatar by Cassandra Fairbanks July 18
Kathy Zhu
Miss World America has stripped beloved conservative commentator Kathy Zhu of her Miss Michigan title over “insensitive†political tweets and her refusing to wear a hijab during a leftist campus event in 2016.
The heartbroken 20-year-old University of Michigan student posted screenshots of the email and text exchanges that she had with MWA’s State Director Laurie DeJack on Twitter.
In the exchanges, DeJack continuously declared that there was a “problem†without explaining the situation to a clearly increasingly worried Zhu. Eventually, she finally revealed that one of the issues was a tweet in which Zhu declared that the majority of black deaths are caused by other black citizens.

I'm still reading to see what this story is about.
-
Beautiful, intellectually honest young woman makes politically incorrect remarks (although accurate) and then refuses to let someone stick a hijab on her head (She isn't muslim, so...No.), and then is asked to become a nonperson by pageant authorities???
What happened to the whole "Truth to power!" thing?
What happened to integrity?
She spoke it.
She has it.
And like any bunch of Leftists, they can't tolerate that.
-
Pageants are like all the other awards --even the Nobel prizes. If you don't have the "correct" thoughts, you lose the competition or if you win, you forfeit your prize.
There is a saying: living well is the best revenge. Miss Zhu may find some other area in which to excel. Then she can tell the Miss World people where they can stick their pageant and its prizes.

@TomSea
The truth must NEVER be told in Left World.
It gets in the way of the agenda.

@Smokin Joe
Evidentially,it was bought using Muslim money.

As she is an Asian-American, I heartily urge Ms. Zhu to sue the MWA org for racism. Fight fire with fire.

I was reading her twitter in the last two weeks, I had no idea who she was. I wonder if paralells can be drawn with say a leftie being benched like Megan Rapinoe. If you are a public figure, maybe you should keep quiet BUT the pageant should not punish anyone refusing to wear a hijab for the pageant. My understanding.

Wacko leftist scolds are well on their way to p*ssing everybody off.

She is a first generation, legal immigrant and a naturalized American citizen.

The organization better have some good lawyers on retainer...they're about to need them.

Would they take away the title of a Muslim that refused to wear a Cross or Star of David.

Good point. I suspect the answer is almost certainly no.
As such, she should sue for discrimination.

Somebody dropped Race-Card dime on her, so she should drop Race-Card dime on the pageant, turn her enemy's weapon against her enemy.

I could be wrong, but I think Ms. Zhu ought to "lawyer up" and challenge this in court.
At the very least, I see $$$$$ in a settlement...
