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

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.
Keyword "Appropriately"! In Whose estimation? The true hallmark of a democracy is the treatment of its minorities!
Yes, they need to have the same rights & responsibilities as everyone else.
Until they decide they want to wear a hijab.
Yes, when they are old enough to understand the significance of it, they can decide whether or not to ascribe to religious modesty codes.
Providing the school uniform allows for headgear generally. It mustn't be a religious privilege.
Is it not a sign of privilege to want to impose views on other people and expect Muslims not to teach their children their faith?
It would be, yes. No school must teach kids that any religion or none is true & parents must be allowed to teach their own views.
