But the schools don't have a problem
-
-
We've gone full circle. I asked what if my children want to wear it? Is that when you step in and tell them they are being sexualised...
-
Yes, kids can internalise modesty ideas and feel they should comply with them even before they understand what sexuality is.
-
So it's not about child,parent,school autonomy but an sort of anti-modesty crusade?
-
Gender-specific modesty codes which sexualise little girls are one thing that are innappropriate for schools, yes.
-
Sort of like saving muslims from themselves and their backwards religion?
-
Children, yes. Adults must be able to do as they wish. Remember the people campaigning against this are Muslim.
-
They say its against Islam to cover hair b4 puberty & that its abt sexuality & so not appropriate for schools to support for little girls.
-
I don't care whether its supported/required by Islam or not. Girls can decide whether to be Muslim or subscribe to modesty codes when older.

You keep saying they have their own rights but if kids,school& parents happy only one infringing on anyone's rights is you
-
Not infringing on rights to be consistent abt age-appropriate & non-sexualising clothing in primary schools. I'm leaving this here.

Do we let them express themselves and forge their own identity based on their own experiences& culture?
-
Depends what they are and whether they can understand them & whether they are age-appropriate & suitable for schools.
