Uniform Controversy Sparks Protests In Kerala School Amid Hijab Demand
A hijab controversy has erupted at St. Rita's Public School in Kochi, Kerala, after a Class 8 student was not allowed to attend classes wearing a hijab, citing school uniform rules. The student's family, with support from some locals, protested, prompting police protection and a temporary two-day school closure. The incident has raised questions about the politicization of schools, especially as other Muslim students at the school have adhered to the uniform rules without issue.
