Why one American high school cancelled ‘Hijab Day’

Available for over a year

Earlier this year, a group of Boston area students decided to take part in World Hijab Day. That's a day when both Muslims and non-Muslims try to raise awareness and tolerance by wearing the Islamic head scarf. But in this case, the event didn’t work out as planned.
