Why won’t my high school let a Muslim be a Cheerleader?

Question by We won! 20 Jan 09 (Erudite): Why won’t my high school let a Muslim be a Cheerleader?
She (Muslim) loves the team but she will only wear a cheerleader outfit that covers her up 95% to keep within her respected religion.
She needs to wear the school colors but with a burka.
Only her eyes will show.
If this isn’t the correct place then where?

well that wouldn’t look good now would it, I mean no offense but she would stick out so much when you look at the cheerleaders. Sadly I think her religious belief may prevent her from doing this.

but if the coach rejected her because she is a muslim, then that is text-book racial profiling and she can sue the school or the coach for that.

    Hahahaha.95%?People’s regular outfit show more than 5%.

    Wow.I don’t think I want someone who’s eyes can only be seen to be my cheerleader.

    Everything,comes with a price.

    It is apparent that she could at least try out for it if she was willing to wear the cheerleading uniform. It is her choice, as I see it. Also, she may be unable to do the stunts with a burka on.

    Well if the reason she isn’t allowed to be a cheerleader is because she is Muslim, that is wrong, and kindof sick, however I do understand it if they don’t want her on the team because she can’t where the uniform, that would be a problem, that she would have to find a way to work out. Even if she can’t cheer lead I’m sure they would be more than welcome to have her come to the games as a casual fan
