What the petition asks
It was recently announced in the media that inspectors from OFSTED will be quizzing young Muslim girls as to why they are wearing the hijab. Ostensibly, the reason is to prevent the, “sexualisation of young girls”. We wish to protest the introduction of such a policy in the strongest possible terms.
