When I first read this story a few days ago, I was under the impression that the organizers of this event wanted her to put on the hijab for a publicity photo, and that's why she didn't want to wear it. Then a little while later after she was getting attacked over it, the story of the publicity photo disappeared, and got replaced with cries of racism.
If the first story I read is correct, then she was clearly in the right to refuse it. If on the other hand she had gone on and just started making statements about it, then yes you would be correct in that had violated a T&C of the position (so to speak)
The question is which version of the story is correct? The one where she was being told to put on the hijab for a publicity photo op, or the one that got pushed by the media about just making blatant statements that are her opinions?
You didn't take the time to even ask questions or try to understand what the Hijab is. That's ignorant of you." Later the same person urged people to contact the university's Office of Student Conduct: "Let's get this girl expelled."
Zhu said she tweeted about the hijab incident after a Muslim woman at the booth "forcibly" tried to put one on her head.

Did you actually read her tweets?
That girl is nuts.
She deserves to have her title stripped. I love how she is acting like what she said meant something else after the fact.
This was her tweet on the hijab situation:
"There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus. So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"
She took a "try on a hijab" booth on her college campus as an attempt to "get women used to being opressed under Islam"
The "try on a hijab" booth was there for a cultural outreach program. There were other booths with other cultures. It's the same as there being a German booth with them.saying "try our weinerscnitzel" Islam in itself isn't bad, Sharia law is bad. The fact that she isn't wise enough to differentiate the two.should be cause for removal of her title in itself...
Her other tweet was even more crazy
"Did you know that the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks?" the second tweet said. "Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others."
Once again.. psycho. She's claiming "oh I was just tweeting statistics"when clearly.by the tone of that tweet you can see what she was getting at.
Girl has issues and is not a role model.

So you are assuming no woman would want to wear a hijab and all who do are actually oppressed and dare not speak of it....pffffffwhaha....educate yourself please.
It's a symbol for you (and that ex miss America) that you somehow feel the need to fight because....well I have no idea actually.
Could you elaborate on that?
Peace

We are talking about that bottom right piece of clothing right?

Churchmilitant....seen a lot of sources but hadn't seen this one.
Anyway, "The Muslim Student Association claimed no one was forced or pressured to approach their booth on campus. "The purpose of this booth was to spread awareness of the hijab and those who choose to wear it,"
Non-event
Peace

Those who choose to wear it lol.
This is absolutely laughable in every way as women are being oppressed and brutalized all over the world under Islamic law.
You sir are a clown and a deflector with not one iota of integrity. But sure keep on defending the most oppressive and woman hating ideology on the planet.
