An incident at Park West School in Halifax has sparked outrage among some families and community members.

During a multicultural day event on Wednesday, students wore clothing representing their cultures.

However, students of Palestinian descent were singled-out and told to remove what they had on.  

Maamoun Alhindi’s nephew was one of the students who was told to remove his cultural garment.

“Before he went home, he sent a text to his mother, telling her the principal forced him to take off the Keffiyeh.”

Alhindi said there was more that was said.

“She said to a kid in Grade 7, it’s a sign of war.”
