Leerlingen van de provinciale scholen in Oost-Vlaanderen mogen geen hoofddoek meer dragen op school. De Oost-Vlaamse provincieraad heeft het hoofddoekenverbod vanmiddag goedgekeurd, weliswaar met wisselmeerderheid met Vlaams Belang. Maar niet alle scholen zien dat zitten. "We vrezen dat meisjes met een hoofddoek nu voor thuisonderwijs gaan kiezen", klinkt het.
World news might be a bit out there but couldn’t find a better place to post.
Basically the province of Eastern Flanders is implementing a ban that would see headscarves be illegal on schools. This will mostly target muslim girls as they are the ones wearing it of course. They will do it to encourage ‘neutrality’ and some people see it as a feminist act.
Now of course none of these wankers has actually talked to, you know, a muslim woman because they will soon find out that a lot of them actually want to wear headscarves. Or at least have the option to choose.
‘We shall prevent policing how you dress by policing how you will dress! We are feminists!’
I used to be in favor of this myself until I actually met muslim women who were against it and their logic is sound: let women decide. Can’t argue against that. Simple as.
