Jewish head coverings called kippot

Menora v. Illinois High School Association is a case heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit which centered on two Jewish schools which sued the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) when the IHSA would not let them compete in a basketball tournament unless student-athletes removed their kippot (examples pictured) from their heads during play. The schools argued that their First Amendment right of freedom of religion was violated. The IHSA stated that banning the kippot was reasonable because they could fall off during play, risking player injury. The Seventh Circuit held that no conflict would exist if the schools designed a head covering that was not a safety risk. The case was settled in June 1983, allowing kippot to be worn with contour clips. Legal scholars criticized the Seventh Circuit's false conflict approach in the decision as unsupported by precedent. American Jewish communities largely took it as a win that the students were allowed to play with kippot on. (Full article...)

The Kelpies are a pair of steel horse-head sculptures located between Falkirk and Grangemouth in Scotland. They stand next to the M9 motorway at the eastern gateway to the Forth and Clyde Canal. Designed by sculptor Andy Scott and completed in 2013, each structure stands 30 metres (98 ft) high and weighs around 300 tonnes. Inspired by the kelpies of Scottish folklore and Clydesdale horses, the sculptures celebrate the role of working horses in Scottish industry, agriculture and canal transport. They form part of a local parkland project known as The Helix. The structures were created based on miniature models created by Scott, which were then laser-scanned. Following their opening in 2014, the sculptures quickly became a major attraction, drawing almost one million visitors within their first year.Sculpture credit: Andy Scott; photographed by Steven Straiton
