Wearing a Jilbab

mplications for school dress policy in the future.

There’s an interesting range of comments at the BBC’s talking point. I liked this:

When I was at school I was banned from wearing my lip ring and nose ring, and sent home for dyeing my hair blue. I can only assume that in the light of this ruling, all pupils will be allowed to dress in a way that they choose, to reflect their own cultural beliefs. Otherwise, why are members of organised religion getting privileges of self-expression that are denied to others?
