Summary
Instagram posts from Ms. Rachel defended Minnesota kindergartners wearing hijabs, telling them "hijabs are beautiful" and that "hurtful words" do not diminish their worth.
Trump had reshared a viral graduation clip on Truth Social after the End Wokeness account claimed it showed a St. Paul school where "every girl is in a hijab … in kindergarten."
More than a dozen children in the video appear in hijabs or other head coverings while wearing blue kindergarten graduation gowns.
Accurso framed the post as part of broader support for religious inclusion, citing Hanukkah, Eid, Easter and Christmas celebrations and urging children to tell a trusted adult about hurtful comments.
The dispute adds to Accurso's earlier political flashpoints, including visits to an immigration detention facility, advocacy on Gaza-related issues and a January apology for accidentally liking an antisemitic comment.
