sheshe2Democrats Want to Change a 181-Year-Old Rule to Allow Religious Headwear in the HouseAs they prepare to welcome two newly-elected Muslim women into the 116th Congress, Democrats have proposed a clarification to a 181-year-old rule banning representatives from wearing hats on the House floor. If approved, the new rules would allow lawmakers to wear religious headwear, like hijabs and kippahs, once Democrats take control of the chamber in January. Representative-elect Ilhan Omar, one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, wears a headscarf. She was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a refugee. Tweet;Ilhan Omar✔@IlhanMN No one puts a scarf on my head but me. It’s my choice—one protected by the first amendment.And this is not the last ban I’m going to work to lift. http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/hats-congress-religious-garb-exception?bt_ee=ONRQahIBWdjXs%2By0XjPUc8EXJbPXxnxNtcYMUvgxotGxCmoL1yh8ZM7or%2BcUesZQ&bt_ts=1542395625024 …The proposed rule was co-authored by current House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee Rep. Jim McGovern and Omar. It comes as part of the Democrats’ new House rules proposal package. The drafted changes promise to “ensure religious expression,” by “clarify[ing] in the rules that religious headwear is permitted to be worn in the House chamber.” More:http://time.com/5458281/democrats-proposed-rule-allow-religious-headwear-house/
I can certainly think of more than a few DUmmie female congress people that should be wearing Burkas.
Honestly, I'm ok with this, as long as it's all religious headwear that's allowed including yarmulkas. However, if any religion's items are banned, all are banned. Equal for all...
They would allow anything until the 1st Sikh is sworn in wearing his blade.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
But they didn't have a problem barring Jewish men from wearing their Yamakas
