Be careful how you speak to "American" muslims (if you must speak to them at all)

A Muslim girl sits for Pledge of Allegiance. A non-Muslim girl asks her why she doesn’t act proud to be an American.

Guess who got suspended.

Go on. Guess...

It happened last week in Spring Hill, Florida: Heather Lawrence, a 16-year-old girl who plans to join the U.S. Army, was suspended for five days for insulting her hijab-wearing, seated classmate who refused to stand for the Pledge. This angered Heather, she said, since “our flag represents everything that our country is….You know, I made a not-so-kind remark, and I do sincerely apologize for referring to the thing on her head because that had nothing to do with it. But I told her, ‘Why don’t she act like she’s proud to be an American?’”

Good question. But apparently by asking it, Heather Lawrence has committed a violation of human rights. ABC Action News in Tampa informs us portentously that “despite the open apology to the girl, who wears a hijab, the president of the Tampa/Hillsborough County Human Rights Council says Heather’s actions were harmful and the school was right for taking action.”
