But that's not the point. The point is that under the guise of neutrality and feminism the choice of these women gets suppressed. I'm all for empowering women and especially teaching young girls at school that they have authority over their bodies and choices but this is not it. You don't do that by banning things but by educating.
This whole thing is distraction, creating problems that aren't there. In my countries some kids are unable to get, for example, math classes for months due to no teachers being available. School results are dramatically decreasing. The teachers that are there are overworked and are constantly attacked by the government. There are actual muslim women not allowed to work only because they want to be able to decide whether or not they wear a headscarve.
All this will do is pushing more muslim girls away from schools like this only to fall into the hands of even more conservative schools where headscarves are allowed. All the while the actual important stuff, like quality of education and teachers' rights, are plummeting. It's a distraction.
And there is no true neutrality in these schools. In a dominantly christian, capitalist and liberal country the education system is a direct result of these ideologies. I was spoonfed anticommunism, liberalism, capitalism, christianity and even white supremacy through this very same school system, despite it claiming to be 'neutral'.
It's because we are going back. Muslims are the scapegoat of the current times, viewed by the whities as the untermenschen. My country is heavily segregated and in this city you can painfully see that. Entire neighborhoods full of white people with almost no migrants and entire neighborhoods full of migrants, muslims, non white people. They rarely come in contact with eachother. The only information these white people get is through the news of through fear mongering politicians. You see it in the vote results.
The area I work in, a heavily migrant area, is a huge marxist party voting area. The area I live in, a mainly white people area, is a heavily anti migrant voting area, despite not even experiencing the perceived 'trouble' these migrant are said to cause (spoiler: it's not that bad duh).
And thus you get entire groups of white people making decisions like the one in the article, not even really including muslim women in their decision making. They make a decision through their white supremacist view and think they are empowering women. The racist idea that muslim women are incapable of making their own decisions and thinking you're doing them a favor by even further policing them is insane.
