Diego Rossi: composition on point
Novakamir: hard to see how this helps kids at all, just more distractions and division
Elin: it's surprising they still let older girls wear headscarves. feels like a slippery slope
Static Moth: not like this is any of my business, but why does the law focus on girls and not everyone under 14? seems like a whole other can of worms
Amirellis: it's hard not to see this as symbolic given the recent controversy over school uniform rules in UK schools last year. Does anyone think this ban will actually solve any social issues or is
Elin: suddenly everyone's concerned about the under-14s, not when they're forced into military service or child labour
Lena: can someone explain how this affects anyone except for politicians trying to sound good on TV
Leobianchi: can't believe they're making headlines over this instead of actually enforcing laws on schools' dodgy science scores
Webersofia: this law was always going to create more problems than it solves
