EDITS FOR MESAS CLASS: Despite having an overall lenient policy when it comes to members of an educational institution donning religious wear, there are certain states in the United States of America that do not perfectly accommodate hijabs. As stated by the Freedom Forum Institute, there was a Pennsylvania case, U.S. v. Board of Education, in which the outcome rejected the Title VII religious-discrimination claim of a Muslim teacher who complained about being unable to wear religious headwear in her school because it was against school rules. However, because of a Pennsylvania law called the “Garb Statute,” which provided: “[N]o teacher in any public school shall wear in said school or while engaged in the performance of his duty as such teacher any dress, mark, emblem or insignia indicating the fact that such teacher is a member or adherent of any religious order, sect or denomination" the teacher was unable to win her fight against the state.
