Student Wins Formal Reprieve from Condell Park High

A 17-year-old student at Condell Park High School in New South Wales has been allowed to attend his school formal this week, but on the condition that he does not wear a keffiyeh-patterned scarf and drops claims against the school. The student had been banned from attending the formal after wearing the scarf to his graduation ceremony, sparking a pro-Palestine rally outside the school in support of him. NSW Education Department secretary Murat Dizdar has offered to personally meet with the student and is working towards a resolution that will allow all students to attend the formal.
