The function of schools is to educate its pupils and prepare them for live beyond education. If they are going to earn a living and make a contribution to the society in which they live they will be surprised to find that it often means complying with terms and conditions with which they may not necessarily agree but which they have to swallow in order to earn a...

You know full well I can’t do that Zacs and I would not presume to know what is best in every situation because nobody does... but I would say that protesting rules that are unjust or unreasonable can be a good thing for people to do. Otherwise we’re all just lemmings... All that we can do is assess each one and try to understand the case they are making. In this case there seems to me a degree of justification.
I simply don't know what the fuss is. You go to school; you wear the uniform as directed. There is no need to ask "what's wrong with a brightly coloured hijab". It's against the rules - that's all you need to know. Uniforms are designed to be, well...uniform. There's a good reason for it and the excuses made on here for non-conformity simply don't wash.
My old school was founded 408 years ago. During that time a rigorous uniform policy has been enforced. In the seven years I was there, there were pockets of uniform rebellion from time to time. I took part in a minor one of them myself - a tale I related here a week or two back. It was swiftly quashed by the school assisted by my parents when they got to hear about it.
The tragedy with this episode is that the rebellion is being defended and the rebels are being given air time. As one of them said, when something else upsets them they will rebel again. The lunatics, I'm afraid are slowly taking over the asylum.

It's called school rules and school uniform. If anyone doesn't like it - change schools. Much more sensible to obey the rules for a few years and get your education.
I hated, really hated, having to wear a beret to-and-from school - and the 6th form did send a polite round-robin asking to be excused; to no avail. So we had to continue with the hated berets.
Express your personalities/cultures outside school hours - as we did and stop mouthing-off.

they were obeying the rules... and then the rules changed in a way that appears to be quite unreasonable: they decree that colourful hijabs which were fine until this year are suddenly not fine, and that the natural hair of some of the students is now unacceptable.
I do not care if the protestors are students... I care about whether or not they are right.
