In England, Middlesex, a school has been threatening legal action against parents of a 12-year-old Muslim girl who in December was sent home from school every day. Siham Hamud declined to wear a shorter skirt on religious grounds, which caused the violation of the school’s dress code, which was the reason they sent her home.
Humid is a student at Uxbridge High School. For years, she has worn an ankle-length skirt to school, but it became a disciplinary issue in December. The school’s uniform code, which was presented two years ago, ordered female students to wear pleated, school-issued skirts or trousers. On December 1, Siham was first recognized by teachers regarding this issue, and then they sent her home each day. Due to Covid -19 lockdown restrictions, she is taking her online class. Her family is expecting this issue to start again when she studies in physical courses.
Siham’s father, Idris, is a sports coach, and he has planned to fight all legal action against the school, as he told the Telegraph.
In France, during 2015, the same case took place. Hamud is a Muslim teenager who was sent home because her skirt was long. A law in France which was passed in 2004 allowed only discreet religious signs in schools.
Critics will say dress codes should be equally applied to all students. Still, this sentiment brushes over that it does not affect students equally, whether the particulars cases for each student are unique. It does not matter if the skirt is too long or too short. These student dress codes can leave the students feeling discriminated against or vulnerable. This dress code’s main aim is to place students on an equal footing to focus on their studies.

This is the Heights of Islamophobia.
Now, all Muslim Countries Must Evict non Muslims from their countries, if they do not wear Hijab.
Only in this manner, these infidels of the west will fall in place
As a Muslim woman, I don’t care if they implement those law or rules. School is not a jamaath or mosque. Also, they re many school in Islamic countries where a woman should wear dress that follows the Sharia except hijab. And you should read this article back, they didn’t tells her to take off her hijab but want her to wear short skirt. Many Muslim countries that ha rules where a woman should wear long skirt. Don’t ever you forget that. In Iran, woman have to wear headscarf no matter what. If Iranian can accept those rules or law, why can’t Muslim accept other country’s law?
Again, as a Muslim woman from Muslim majority country, Malaysia, who live in Muslim community, for me, it is absurd when someone ask me to wear hijab, that called reminder or respect, but when I tell someone to take it of, that called rude and islamophobia
Wonder if you ever ha fight for woman rights in Afghanistan or Iran or have you ever look at it like it’s a big issues like this one?
@Nancy I think you are a liar!
