Some student-athletes want to wear religious garments or modest clothing with their sports uniforms. A Utah lawmaker has a bill that would prohibit schools from letting athletes wear religious and modest clothing.
The excitement was palpable Thursday when Ibtihaj Muhammad walked into Islamic Foundation School and mosque in Villa Park among not only its 550 students but also parents, employees and community members who welcomed the Olympian.
The law allows student-athletes to modify their uniform to match any cultural, religious or personal preferences they may have without facing any penalties or disqualifications during competitions.
