WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A 12-year-old Muslim school girl has won the right to wear a head scarf to her Oklahoma school, in a settlement announced by the Justice Department Wednesday.

Under terms of the agreement, the Muskogee Public School District is required to change its dress code to allow exceptions for religious reasons.

"This settlement reaffirms the principle that public schools cannot require students to check their faith at the schoolhouse door," said R. Alexander Acosta, assistant attorney general for civil rights.
