The Administrative Court in Thailand’s southern province of Yala issued a ruling on Thursday against a ban on the wearing of the hijab, or head scarf, in school.

 

The landmark ruling ends four years of court battles between about 20 parents of students attending a school in Pattani on the one hand and the Ministry of Education and the school on the other.

Indoctrination has to start early to sow the seeds.

Good, as the ban is obviously nothing but anti-Muzzy.

 

Not like it's a burka and hides you face / ID, though with mask wearing now,

that argument is a bit mute.

This really surprised me, schools in Hat Yai don't seem to have problem with girls wearing a hijab, provided the colour matches the uniform.

This particular school was on temple grounds. The monks must have wanted to make a point.
