Closed Stop colleges from banning students from wearing the niqab

Closed on

I want the government to give Muslim women the right to be able to veil and dress the way they want in colleges by stopping colleges from banning students from wearing the niqab. Muslim women should have the right to cover up in an education establishment.

I feel that the policy should be changed because my education is being affected just because I choose to follow my religion. Additionally, other Muslim women are also affected because they chose to wear the niqab. Many Muslim women don't cover up their face due to restrictions around them.
