Dear @thetimes @SianGriffiths6
Why's the hijab being sexualised?
Yet it's ok for the same 5 year olds to have sex education lessions?

Liberal democracies also allow parents to decide what they feel is appropriate for their children.
Within limits. Children have rights too.
To subscribe to gender-specific modesty codes or not is a decision that requires a certain maturity.
And until a child reaches that maturity parents are able to make decisions about their children.
Depends what they are. Concepts of gender-specific modesty & lust-reduction cld be conveyed in age appropriate ways at home. Not in schools
They are right to let children be children & insist little girls are not burdened with notions of modesty abt their bodies.
Responsibility and Authority are born Together! To make me Responsible for someone/something without Authority to manage it is Injustice! !
You still have to dress your child appropriately for school.
Except if you're a parent wanting your child to wear hijab.
Yes, your child is someone else. You can't ask schools to be complicit in enforcing conservative & sexist dress codes on them.
