What is it with Canada, young girls, and hijabs? It wasn't too long ago that young hijab clad sisters were prevented from playing soccer. Now they are being prevented from participating in Tae Kwon Do tournaments. Safety is once again being used as the pretext for banning them from participation. How dangerous can a hijab be? Especially if it is under a padded "safety" headgear. This is something that I would expect from the U.S., Britain, France, Spain, or even Germany, but not our neighbors to the north. What happened to the Canadian sense of fair play and acceptance. O' Canada....what a shame.
