Leerlingen van de provinciale scholen in Oost-Vlaanderen mogen geen hoofddoek meer dragen op school. De Oost-Vlaamse provincieraad heeft het hoofddoekenverbod vanmiddag goedgekeurd, weliswaar met wisselmeerderheid met Vlaams Belang. Maar niet alle scholen zien dat zitten. "We vrezen dat meisjes met een hoofddoek nu voor thuisonderwijs gaan kiezen", klinkt het.
A piece of cloth is not a religious symbol
I agree. Head coverings in Islam are normally monotone and don’t have any obviously religious symbols unless it’s a hijab/niqab. So by my logic anyone can just claim it’s secular, so this can’t be forbidden
Maybe most white Western women don’t?
I am from the Global South. Some people are really negative about involving children in religion
actually felt more empowered precisely because they could control who gets to see what of themselves
Very good point. Yes, in this case covering your head is totally legit
In addition to literally stopping white people from randomly touching your hair just because “they’re so different!”
Omg, I never knew people can be that creepy. Ahh, the West…
Your point is definitely convincing.
