Bindi, Cross & Hijab Are Not the Same – ISSUE IS CHANGE TO UNIFORM DRESSCODE & COVERING FACE …
The Hijab protests are simply unnecessary. The main issue is each institution of any type has the right to set its own dress code – same applies to Schools and Colleges. Dresscode is meant to ensure uniformity, neutrality and safety for all.
Arguments are being made that Bindi, Bangles, Allah locket or ittar which are considered part of Muslim traditions. BUT THESE ARE NOT PIECE OF CLOTHING THAT ALTERS THE SCHOOL UNIFORM UNLIKE HIJAB & BURQA. And none of the former cover the face – same goes for the Turban which only covers the hair.
