Ms. Rachel defends Muslim kindergartners after Trump’s distasteful post

Youtube star Ms. Rachel is voicing her support for Muslims and the hijab, after President Trump singled out a kindergarten graduation ceremony in Minnesota.  

In case you missed it, this week, President Trump shared a video of a Minnesota kindergarten graduation featuring children, many of them wearing hijabs. He didn’t write his own caption. Instead, he amplified a post from the X account End Wokeness highlighting that “every girl is in a hijab… in kindergarten.”  

The children weren’t protesting. They weren’t campaigning. They were graduating.  

It’s one thing to debate immigration policy. It’s another thing entirely to put kindergarteners at the center of a political message.  

And that’s exactly what prompted Ms. Rachel to respond — not by mentioning President Trump by name, but by speaking directly to those kids.  

“I saw some of you wore a hijab to your graduation. I am glad you wore something meaningful and special to you and your family. I think hijabs are beautiful. Different kids wear different things that are a part of their cultures and religions.”  

And then another message made it clear who and what she was responding to.  

“No matter what we wear, we all belong. No one’s hurtful words can take away our worth and our value! Just because someone says something does not mean it’s true! People can try to divide us and turn us against each other and say things that aren’t true. But we know what’s right and that we should treat every person with kindness and respect.”  

Minnesota,........
