Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission policy on swimwear providing for religious accommodation. The policy was adopted on January 10, 2006 in response to the ACLU of Michigan’s advocacy on behalf of a Muslim seventh-grade student who was denied swimming privileges at the Rolling Hills Water Park in Ypsilanti, MI in 2005 because she was wearing clothing covering her body in accordance with her religious beliefs.
