Parents that choose the hijab for their 5yr old, are not liberal. So why should a liberal society appease it?

Because liberals claim they believe in free choice and everyone should express themeselves in any way shape or form they like.

And no-one should force it on anyone else. That includes children. They're not your accessories. They're human beings.

So I take it you believe children should also not be forced to wear school uniform, right? They are not our accessories.

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?
