  "summary": "The Guardian Australia reports that Wasim El-Haj, a Palestinian careers adviser at Sydney Girls High School, has filed a racial discrimination case against the New South Wales government. El-Haj alleges that he was ordered to stop wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian garment, at the school because it was perceived as a symbol of conflict and could cause discord. The then acting principal reportedly stated that the keffiyeh was seen as a symbol of conflict. El-Haj claims that the school's actions violate the Racial Discrimination Act, seeking justice under federal court jurisdiction.",
