So send her to a private school

A private religious school. Muslim Athlete Disqualified Over Uniform.

A high school track star has been disqualified from a meet because officials said the custom-made outfit she wears to conform to her Muslim faith violated competition rules. The outfit allows her to compete while adhering to her Muslim faith, which forbids displaying any skin other than her face and hands.

But meet director Tom Rogers said Kelly's uniform violated rules of the National Federation of State High School Associations, which sanctioned the event. Uniforms are required to be "a single-solid color and unadorned, except for a single school name or insignia no more than 2 1/4 inches," he said.

Montgomery County Public Schools spokeswoman Kate Harrison said the decision about the uniform was not made by Rogers, but by referees who were part of an independent organization.
I'm sure the ACLU is rushing to the aid of the girl as we speak. That dubious organization can display it's hypocrisy on this church/state crap. I guess I wouldn't mind so much if the Western world wasn't being bombarded with this incessant 'ain't we muslims special?' nonsense every other week: quintet daily prayers; special diet; ritual washing; burka concealment; and any other infinite number of reasons not to assimiliate.

Heck, just last week there was some book store clerk (guess his religion) who refused to sell some old woman a kid's book of bible stories. We've had cab drivers (guess which religion they adhere to) who refuse would-be customers transporting alcohol or blind folks with dogs; universities constructing tax payer financed prayer rooms (guess which religious group those are designed to please), and municipal airports constructing tax payer financed foot washing basins to accommodate - guess who?

You want special? Then take the hammer hits the ACLU bludgeons the Christians & Jews, or any municipality or government entity that dares hint at faith or religion: Keep it private & send her to a private religious school!
