Yes, but the head scarf is not a more-or-less neutral piece of clothing like a grey skirt or black shoes. It has explicit religious significance. It's difficult to find an exact analogy but I think it's not unlike a Catholic school compelling everyone to wear a crucifix. You can imagine the uproar were a muslim pupil at such a school to be required to do this.
