[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school should make the boys cover their hair as well. That keeps the school from enforcing the gender discrimination at while still following the rules of the mosque.[/quote]

traditionally men/boys do cover their heads with caps so they can ask both boys and girls to cover.  In islam their are 2 reasons for the head covering: 1 is the modesty/purdah that applies mostly to women and is enforced on them in irfan/saudi/afghanistan and then there is the head covering which is done to show that you are in a sacred space/to show respect. In Christian culture.. respect is shown by taking off your hat/had covering to show respect but in Semitic cultures you keep your self covered to show respect. Yo also remove your shoes to show respect.  So the head covering should be for all those who enter the mosque and they should all remove there shoes and it is to show respect that you are in place with has been made pure and clean for people to worship .. the head covering in the m mosque is to show respect, it isn't part of hijab or purdah, even tiny kids do it. Unfortunately it often the case that little boys wear the caps and as they grow into teen years they discard this practice which is rude but their parents dont see fit to teach their sons respect.

also why only these 3 very similar western religions? what about a buddhist temple? hindu? the islamic center is super close by and a dc landmark so I  think schools should take  kids just to see the architecture but there is an amazing buddhist temple on new Hampshire in ss that is also very immersive.

Op just sounds islamaphobic to me..tbh[/quote]
