editHi, I received a notice that you had copied material to this article from another source. Upon reviewing the material I saw that there was a large chunk of content taken from the source. This was just a little too closely paraphrased for comfort. It's not that we can't copy the ruling quote - that's fine - the main issue was that this was just structured too closely from the source. I've removed this for the time being since I wanted to work with you a little on how to structure this content. My recommendation is something like this:
- Some portions of the United States have laws that prohibit instructors from wearing religious garb during work. According to the Freedom Forum Institute, critics have stated that these laws violate the First Amendment and Title VII, while proponents believe that these laws help maintain religious neutrality in schools. Attempts have been made to oppose these laws, as in the 1990 case in Pennsylvania U.S. v. Board of Education and 1986 Cooper v. Eugene School District, the former of which argued that a Muslim instructor should be able to wear her "head scarf and long, loose dress as a “reasonable accommodation” of her religious faith." This case was unsuccessful due to a 1895 Pennsylvanian law that dictated that “[N]o teacher in any public school shall wear in said school or while engaged in the performance of his duty as such teacher any dress, mark, emblem or insignia indicating the fact that such teacher is a member or adherent of any religious order, sect or denomination". The instructor, a Muslim woman, had argued that her head scarb[1] The law, which was created during a period of staunch anti-Catholicism in Pennsylvania and revised in 1949, was reaffirmed in 1982. Other states, such as Oregon, have repealed laws that prohibited the wearing of religious garb by instructors, with then Governor of Oregon Ted Kulongoski stating that the repeal was "consistent with Oregon tradition that honors individual beliefs, values, diversity and promotes tolerance".[2]

Feel free to tweak this as much as you like. You can also use it, since much of it comes from your own work. I added some content in from some other sources I found as well. You may want to check out this source - it looks promising. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:27, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- This is really an interesting topic - religious freedom is definitely something that intrigues me since it really is something that should be a lot better than it currently is now. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:28, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
