The Hijab is a symbol of Islam, the liberal crusaders hate for Muslim parents to make Muslim choices for their kids!https://twitter.com/harithhere_/status/897583747247329285 …
No. Kids aren't intended to express their parents or their own values at school in their clothing. A standard can apply.

I would equally be opposed to an atheist making their child wear a spaghetti strainer and schools accommodating this. Dress appropriately.
-
The hijab has special significance tho coz it's connected to ideas of modesty. That is what the Muslim campaigners are opposing.
-
The symbolism of this & its cultural meaning. Little girls' bodies being presented as sexual objects to be covered.
-
No, they are not. It's usually to get them used to it for wearing when older. Nothing to do with sexualising little girls.
-
That's equally bad & goes against the idea that its a choice girls must make for themselves. And why wear it later? Gendered modesty ideals.
-
Wear this to get used to being sexualised as an adult. Should schools also allow make-up & high heels?

How is a school uniform a "standard"? Why are you imposing your "standards" on children by forcing them to dress a certain way?
-
Dress codes are a part of society & vary from institution to institution. In schools, smart & practical & age appropriate is needed.
-
Lol! Why is a tie needed? Why should millions of kids be forced to wear a tie. They are not your accessory, stop imposing things on them.
-
Smartness. I'm not arguing that all dress codes are wrong so pointing out that I only object to some is not a 'gotcha.'
-
I'm objecting to gender-specific modesty codes imposed on children too yng to understand the significance &decide whether to subscribe to it
-
No, You said kids are not our accessories, they are human beings, no one should force things onto them. Why does we force a tie on them?
-
No, I'm not claiming that. I understand that you thought I was but I have now clarified so no point in continuing to argue against it.
-
I am claiming that people have the right to live their own lives according to illiberal values but not to force them on others.
