Custom Indoor
( o _ 0 ) Did track officials violate her 1st Amendment rights? Your thoughts?

WASHINGTON - A high school track star has been disqualified from a meet because officials said the custom-made outfit she wears to conform to her Muslim faith violated competition rules.
Juashaunna Kelly, a senior at the District of Columbia's Theodore Roosevelt High School, has the fastest mile and 2-mile times of any girl runner in the city this winter. She was disqualified from Saturday's Montgomery Invitational indoor track and field meet.
Kelly was wearing the same uniform she has worn for three seasons while running for Theodore Roosevelt's cross-country and track teams. The custom-made, one-piece blue and orange unitard covers her head, arms, torso and legs. Over the unitard, she wears the same orange and blue T-shirt and shorts as her teammates.
The outfit allows her to compete while adhering to her Muslim faith, which forbids displaying any skin other than her face and hands.
If taking PRAY out of our schools, not allowing our children to have 'Christmas' plays, or Easter plays, is NOT a violation of the 1st Amendment, then her being barred is ALSO not a violation. SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. It is offending to Christians to have to "see" her dressed differently BECAUSE of her RELIGION. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander...
