Muslim woman settles in at Vermont military college
2016-10-17
[Ynet] A college student from Florida who is the first student allowed to wear her Moslem headscarf beneath her military uniform at the country's oldest private military college says she doesn't feel like a pioneer.

Sana Hamze just wants to learn what she needs to know as a first-year student at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

Hamze has embarked on the path to fulfill her lifelong dream of continuing her family's legacy of military and public service while staying true to her devout religious beliefs.

When applying to military colleges earlier this year, the 18 year old asked for a uniform accommodation to wear her hijab beneath her uniform. Norwich agreed.
The Daily Mail adds:
Hamze's great-grandmother was in the Air Force and two of her grandparents met while serving in the Navy in Puerto Rico. Her father is a police officer in Florida.
But I'd bet the two ladies did not wear a hijab, either in or out of uniform.

#1  "... the 18 year old asked for a uniform accommodation to wear her hijab beneath her uniform. Norwich agreed."


"A hijab (/hɪˈdʒɑːb/, /hɪˈdʒæb/, /ˈhɪ.dʒæb/ or /hɛˈdʒɑːb/; Arabic: حجاب‎‎ ḥijāb, pronounced [ħiˈdʒæːb] or [ħiˈɡæːb]) is a veil traditionally worn by Muslim women in the presence of adult males outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the head and chest."

Um, ok.
