ʻO Najah Aqeel, kahi makahiki hou ma Valor Collegiate Academy ma Tennessee, e hoʻomehana ana no kahi hoʻokūkū volleyball i ka manawa a kāna kumu i haʻi aku ai iā ia ua hōʻole ʻia ʻo ia. ʻO ke kumu? E ʻaʻahu ana ʻo ʻAqeel i ka hijab. Ua hoʻoholo ʻia e kahi luna kānāwai nāna i kuhikuhi i kahi lula e pono ai i nā mea pāʻani ke ʻae ʻia mai ka Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) e ʻaahu i ke poʻo haipule i ka wā o kahi pāʻani.

"Ua huhū wau. ʻAʻole ia he mea kūpono," i ʻōlelo ʻo ʻAqeel i kahi nīnauele me I kēia lā. "ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu ke kumu e pono ai iaʻu ka ʻae e komo i kekahi mea no nā kumu haipule."

Ma ka noʻonoʻo ʻana iā Aqeel a me nā mea ʻaleʻa haumāna Muslim ʻē aʻe ma Valor, ʻaʻole lākou i holo i kēia pilikia mai ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka papahana haʻuki o ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma 2018, ua kāhea koke ke kaʻi i ke alakaʻi haʻuki o ke kula ʻo Cameron Hill, no ka wehewehe ʻana, e like me ka ʻōlelo a Valor Collegiate Athletics. Ua kāhea ʻo Hill iā TSSAA e noi i ka ʻae no ʻAqeel e komo i ka pāʻani. Eia nō naʻe, i ka manawa a ka TSSAA i hāʻawi aku ai iā Hill i ke kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ua pau ka pāʻani, e like me ka ʻōlelo. (Pili: Nike i lilo i ka Giant Sports First e hana i kahi hana Hijab)

"Ma ke ʻano he 'oihana haʻuki, ua hoʻohoka nui mākou no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i kēia kānāwai a i ʻole ʻike ʻia e pili ana i kēia kānāwai i loko o ʻekolu mau makahiki ma ke ʻano he lālā lālā no TSSAA," wahi a Hill i loko o kahi ʻōlelo hou aʻe. "Hoʻonāukiuki pū kekahi mākou i ka hoʻokau pono ʻia ʻana o kēia kānāwai e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka hoʻokūkū ʻana o nā haumāna i ka wā e ʻaʻa ana i nā hijab."

I loko o kāna ʻōlelo, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Valor Collegiate Athletics ʻaʻole e ʻae ke kula i ka hoʻokae i kāna mau haumāna e neʻe nei i mua. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ma hope o kā ʻAqeel hoʻokau ʻia ʻana, ua hana ke kula i kahi kulekele hou e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole e hoʻomaka nā kime haʻuki ʻo Valor me kahi pāʻani "inā ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia kekahi mea pāʻani e pāʻani no kekahi kumu hoʻokae," e like me ka ʻōlelo. Ke hana pū nei nō hoʻi ke kula me ka TSSAA e hoʻololi i kēia "rula kūpono ʻole" a "e hoʻopuka i kahi ʻae i ka uhi ʻana i kekahi poʻo no nā kumu haipule kūpono kūpono me ka ʻole o ka ʻae ʻia." (Pili: ʻO kēia kula kiʻekiʻe ma Maine wale nō i lilo i mea mua e hāʻawi i nā Sports Hijabs i nā Athletes Muslim)

Ua huli aʻe, ʻo ke kānāwai e koi ana i nā ʻōlapa haumāna e noi i ka ʻae ma mua o ke kau ʻana i kahi hijab (a i ʻole ke poʻo poʻo haipule) i kahi pāʻani i kākau ʻia i loko o kahi puke i hoʻopuka ʻia e ka National Federation of High School (NFHS), kahi hui e kākau i nā lula o ka hoʻokūkū. no ka hapanui o nā haʻuki a me nā hana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma ka US (The TSSAA, nāna i kāhea e hōʻole ʻole iā Aqeel, kahi ʻāpana o ka NFHS.)

ʻO ke kaulike, ka rula a ka NFHS e pili ana i nā uhi poʻo i ka volleyball e ʻōlelo wale ana "nā lako lauoho i hana ʻia i nā mea palupalu a ʻaʻole ʻoi aku i ʻekolu ʻīniha ka laulā e hoʻokomo ʻia i ka lauoho a i ʻole ma ke poʻo," e like me I kēia lā. Koi aku ke kānāwai i nā mea pāʻani e loaʻa i ka "ʻae mai ka hui aupuni e komo i ka hijab a i ʻole nā ​​ʻano ʻē aʻe no nā kumu haipule no ka mea he kūpono ʻole ia." I kēia lā nā hōʻike.

Ua hōʻea hope loa ka ʻōlelo a Aqeel i ka American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), kahi hui kōkua ʻole e kūkulu i ke kaiāulu a hoʻolaha i ka hana civic ma waena o nā Mahometa ma Tennessee.

"No ke aha e pono ai i nā kaikamahine Muslim, ka poʻe e makemake e hāhai i ko lākou kuleana palekana i kū i ke kumukānāwai, ke loaʻa i kahi pale keu e komo piha i nā haʻuki ma Tennessee?" ʻO Sabina Mohyuddin, ka luna alakaʻi o AMAC, i ʻōlelo i loko o kahi ʻōlelo. "Ua hoʻohana ʻia kēia lula e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kahi haumāna 14 makahiki i mua o kāna mau hoa. Ua like kēia kānāwai i ka haʻi ʻana aku i nā kaikamahine Muslim e pono lākou i ka ʻae e lilo i Muslim."

Ua hana pū nō hoʻi ʻo AMAC i kahi palapala noi e noi ana i ka NFHS e "hoʻopau i ke kānāwai hoʻokae kūʻē i nā mea haʻuki hijabi Muslim." (Pili: Ke hoʻomaka nei ʻo Nike i kahi hana hou ʻo Burkini)

ʻAʻole kēia ka manawa mua e hoʻonele ʻia i ka hoʻokūkū Muslim mai ka hoʻokūkū maʻalahi no ka uhi ʻana i ka uhi haipule. I ka makahiki 2017, ua hāʻawi ʻo USA i ka Amaiya Zafar iā 16 makahiki he ultimatum, e noi ana iā ia e wehe i kāna hijab a i ʻole e haʻalele i kāna pāʻani. Ua koho ka Muslim haipule e hana i ka mea hope loa, e alakaʻi ana i kona hoa paio e lanakila.

I kēia mau lā, i ʻOkakopa 2019, ua kipaku ʻia ʻo Noor Alexandria Abukaram, he 16 ona makahiki, mai kahi hanana i keʻa keʻa ma Ohio no ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i ka hijab. E like me Aqeel, koi ʻia ʻo Abukaram e ʻae i ka ʻAha Athletic High School ma mua o ka heihei no ka hoʻokūkū ʻana i ka wā e ʻaʻa ana i ka hijab. NBC News ua hōʻike ʻia i kēlā manawa. (Pili: Ibtihaj Muhammad ma ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā wahine Muslim i nā haʻuki)

No ka ʻike o Aqeel, e hōʻike ana ka manawa inā paha e kūleʻa ka palapala noi a ka AMAC e hoʻopau ai i ke kānāwai hoʻokae ʻino o ka NFHS. I kēia manawa, ʻo Karissa Niehoff, ka luna alakaʻi o ka NFHS, i ʻōlelo i kahi nīnauele me I kēia lā ua hoʻohana ka luna kānāwai i ka hoʻokūkū kinipōpō hīnaʻi a ʻAqeel i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka "maikaʻi maikaʻi ʻole" ke kuhikuhi ʻana i ka lula. "Ua hoʻomohala ʻia kā mākou mau lula e pale aku ai i nā keiki i ka ʻaʻahu ʻana i nā mea i hopu ʻia a i ʻole kekahi mea e pilikia ai ka palekana," wahi a Niehoff. "ʻO ke olakino a me ka palekana [ka] mea nui loa. Akā ʻaʻole mākou makemake e ʻike i kahi ʻōpio e ʻike i kekahi mea e like me kēia. Kākoʻo nui ka [NFHS] i ke kuleana o kekahi e hoʻohana i ke kūʻokoʻa o ka hoʻomana."
