Closed Stop schools from banning clothing associated with particular religions

Closed on

Many schools do not allow students to wear clothing associated with particular religions, such as the 'niqab'. Such ban goes against religious and female rights to expression, and should not be allowed.

I would like the Government to make it a policy that ALL religious clothing should be allowed to be worn and institutions should not be allowed to ban religious clothing.
