  • Summary

  • Earlier this month, the Ontario legislature banned the keffiyeh, a checkered black and white scarf long worn by Palestinians and often seen at pro-Palestinian protests.


    The ban was brought in because of a longstanding policy against clothing items that make overt political statements. But that decision has ignited a massive debate.
