The Citadel, Southern Military Institution, Weighs Muslim Head Scarf As First-Ever Exception To Uniform Requirements
For 174 years, the Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, has never granted an exception to its uniform requirements. But that could soon change after a student requested that she be allowed to wear a hijab, or head scarf, in keeping with her Muslim faith.
“The college is reviewing the request at this time,” Citadel spokesman Col. Brett Ashworth said in a statement, ABC News reported.
