A South Carolina military college has rejected a woman’s request to wear a hijab, an Islamic-style head scarf, according to reports this week.

The Muslim student is now considering legal action against the Citadel, a public military college run by the state of South Carolina. The student had requested an exception to the required uniform to keep her head covered.
