What the petition asks
It is racist and offensive to all other women. Not all Muslim women wear the hijab neither do White or Black women
I want to know who agreed this insult to all other women could be commissioned and who is paying for it from the Bankrupt Birmingham City Council
This is a racist and divisive and it should not be allowed
As a White British Woman I feel extremely offended by this Act of Divisive intent
