Pickering high school Muslim association holds protest after being asked to ‘discard’ hoodie related to Israel-Hamas war
Description
June 9, 2025
A group of high school students held a protest in front of Pickering City Hall on Thursday afternoon, related to the Israel-Hamas war. It was organized by the Muslim Student Association at Pine Ridge Secondary School. Students say they have been told by the school they can no longer wear a custom-designed hoodie -- and now feel that they are being targeted and silenced. In a statement, the Durham District School Board says, "While some may view the image on the sweatshirts as an expression of identity, others may experience it as a source of harm. Because the sweatshirts were created by a student-recognized group and include the school's name on the clothing, it could appear that the school is taking a position on a complex and deeply sensitive geopolitical issue."
