Utah House resolution advances on religious accommodations for youth athletic uniforms
The House Government Operations Committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to support House Concurrent Resolution 16, sponsored by Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman. It calls for schools, city leagues and other youth sports programs to review their policies tied to athletic uniforms.
The league has collected accounts from students who have been required to get a"waiver form" or other special permission if they wanted to adjust their athletic uniforms to accommodate their religious beliefs, such as a girl who wears a hijab. On Tuesday, the committee was given a statement from a student athlete in Utah who was allowed to play basketball wearing a hijab — but she had to ensure that it matched the colors of her uniform.
"Based on some of the stories I’ve heard, I think people should definitely be careful about what they’re doing and also be more inclusive minded," she said."Being new in the country, being a refugee... creating those comfort zones," she said."If the school and the coaches and teachers don’t provide that security, that feeling to the parents, it is hard for us to let our kids be on their own.
