Didn't Know Trump Was Running That Thing, Too

SXSW, hipster convention, politically correct... and now we find out that fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad -- American Olympian -- was told by a volunteer when she checked in that they wouldn't take her ID photo unless she removed her hijab. Even DMVs aren't that dumb. What possible reason would they have to ignore her religious practice and make her take off her hijab? It's not even a driver's license. Nobody checks your picture on your badge. They don't even check your name (good thing, since the badge she finally got had her name and employment wrong). She was even a presenter at the show, so why did they do that? Are they less enlightened and progressive than they'd like you to think they are? (Austin American-Statesman/512tech.com)
