Anti-headscarf Adana school principal suspended

Thought I did. I'll try again.



It is no different than teaching a child to wear clothes that are common in that culture. Just because some people find this particular article of clothing objectionable is their problem, not the child's.

I don't know how it is working in Pakistan but it is uncommon in Turkey. Even some of the extremists would not welcome a headscarf on 10 year old kid.

Again, this problem of 'isolation' can be addressed by teaching her 'friends' not to judge people by their looks. Teach every child to accept people for who they are and what they do, rather than by how they dress.

I suppose you are expecting a 10 year old kid to act logical. It's proven that education is not solving this issue. If you are fat, they will make fun of you. Simple as that...

Did it occur to you that people might actually do things out of love and devotion?




The fear angle is usually invoked to stop people from doing harmful things, just as fear of the law is used to stop people committing crimes.

Well, again fear is not working same on children and adults. When i was little and made something wrong, threats like giving me to police by my parents haven't done any good to my psychology. And if someone say something like 'you will burn in hell' to their kid. It won't do any good either.

What is the definition of piousness, what is the definition of morality & who will decide what to wear and what not to wear ???

I not asking for the definition of morality but the relation between morality and forcing 10 year old kid to wear headscarf. If there is any, of course..

All I am saying is that each society should find its own balance through dialog and democratic means. It should not be dictated by any group of ideologues on either extreme.

Yes, children can be cruel. Again, there is no alternative except more education to teach them to see beyond appearances. Headscarf or no headscarf, neither choice should elicit disapproval.

Well, again fear is not working same on children and adults. When i was little and made something wrong, threats like giving me to police by my parents haven't done any good to my psychology. And if someone say something like 'you will burn in hell' to their kid. It won't do any good either.

I agree that just scaring kids is no good. There are better ways to motivate children.

Who will decide that 10 year old girl should wear the headscarf or not? you, me, the girl herself, her parents or society in general ?
