Private 1st Class Jaskirat Singh made Marine Corps history earlier this year when he completed boot camp with a turban and beard — two essential parts of his Sikh faith. Singh’s achievement was made possible not only by his own hard work, but by a 30-year-old religious freedom law that creates legal options for people who can’t comply with a federal policy without violating their faith. Singh’s challenge was that Marine Corps uniform rules prevent recruits from wearing head coverings and maintaining a beard.
A federal court of appeals has granted a preliminary injunction to immediately allow two Sikh Americans to begin basic training in the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) with their turbans, beards, and unshorn hair required by their faith.
