Wasim El-Haj, a careers adviser at a New South Wales government school, has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit after being told to stop wearing a keffiyeh, The Guardian reported. School officials allegedly instructed him to remove the Palestinian headscarf, citing concerns it "may cause discord."
El-Haj's legal action challenges the directive as discriminatory treatment based on his ethnicity and cultural identity. The case raises questions about workplace religious and cultural accommodation in Australian public schools.
