Hands off our Hijabs

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

After a consultation with Anti Hijab activists and those pushing for Muslim Reform it has been decided by Ofsted inspectors that they will now Question our muslim Primary School children on wearing the Hijab. No children of any other faith group will be expected to participate or be under scrutiny
It is time for us to raise our voices and challenge Ofsteds decision and demand that they take the appropriate steps by consulting The Muslim Council and the Muslim community. We cannot be silent while Reformers and Anti Islam activists continue to target our communities our faith and now our children.
