18:42Now PlayingHuman rights activists commended Indonesia’s decision to ban compulsory hijab in public schools. The schools’ practice of forcing women to wear religious clothing is now banned as of February 3rd. The Indonesian government’s decree that the hijab cannot be mandated in public schools was motivated by an incident regarding a Christian student that went viral on social media and captured national attention. When a Christian female student repeatedly refused the demands to wear hijab, school officials requested that her parents come in to speak with them. While they were there, her parents discreetly recorded the meeting, then posted it on social media. In the meeting, the school official asserted that the rule is that all female students, including non-Muslims, must wear the hijab. "If I [force] my daughter to wear the headscarf, I will be lying about my daughter's identity," her father stated, adding; "where are my religious rights? This is a public school, after all." Public schools were given 30 days to rescind the mandated attire by the government. Schools that do not comply may be penalized.
