An Ohio high school student who wears a hijab was disqualified from a cross-country meet because officials said her head covering didn't meet uniform standards.
Noor Abukaram ran her best time of the season, but it wasn’t recorded because of her hijab
Noor was lined up to begin a race with her teammates when officials approached her coach about her hijab, which didn’t match the rest of the team’s uniforms. They told the coach that in order for Noor to race, she needed a written and signed exemption letter that would allow her to deviate from the team’s uniform. Rather than ask Noor to remove her hijab, the coach let her race, knowing she would be disqualified at the end.
“I feel like my rights as an athlete were violated this weekend because this rule does NOT exist in writing,” Noor wrote. “I should not have to get a waiver signed and approved by OHSAA to allow me to race due to my religious head covering. Hijabs are not specifically prohibited by OHSAA rulings.”
