I wouldn't know position on Islam - I hardly see the channels air Muslim programs so why not present a headline that capture the truth instead of a twist or just because it's about Muslims?! I'm concerned that Channels hardly air Muslim programs!
Wrong headline: it should read 'Stop Victimisation of Students Using Hijab'! Why's the media always twisting things against the Muslims' interest?! In the incidence that led to the news, no principal imposed hijab, rather they barred hijab & hijab-students from school! Hijab won!
I think it's the other way round. It's Muslim parents who insist their children be allowed to wear hijab to Christian schools.
It’s a good initiative
