flag NSW schools now allow Palestinian students to wear keffiyehs at events after a settlement over a graduation ban.

flag NSW’s Education Department has允许 Palestinian students to wear the keffiyeh at school events, including formals, following a confidential settlement with Jad Salamah, a former Condell Park High School student banned from his 2024 graduation for wearing a keffiyeh and Palestinian flag scarf. flag The department acknowledged the incident was regrettable, affirmed cultural garments like the keffiyeh are permitted on Harmony Day and formal occasions, and emphasized schools should not become venues for political activism. flag While the state denies allegations of racial discrimination, the change is seen as a step toward inclusion amid reports of rising anti-Palestinian incidents in schools since late 2025.
