Re: Tory free schools policy results in girls as young as four forced to wear hijabs
 

No, it shows that parents who don't want their kids to wear a hijab shouldn't send them to an Islamic school. :confused:

No, there are plenty of other things that show that. Regardless of the reasoning the implicit sexualisation of kids in evidence here is grim.

Anyone who requires a primary school child to dress 'modestly' else they feel attracted to them sexually has problems regardless of whether it's religion or just plain old perversion guiding them.

With the pressures on primary school places it's not always that easy. Parents may not have many, if any, options.

With this research only identifying three state primary schools 'enforcing' the hijab as part of school uniform, that suggestion is a little wide of the mark. This looks like a storm in a teacup to me, whipped up - oh surprise surprise - by the National Secular Society, with its fairly obvious agenda to remove faith organisations' involvement in the provision of education.
