Scarves

Does anyone recall the news last month of the government decree changing the regulation on the dress code in public schools, allowing girls as young as 10 years old to attend classes wearing headscarves?

It is already history. In a country like ours with such a huge agenda, where even as journalists we have trouble keeping pace with developments, this should not be so surprising.

After headscarves were allowed in schools starting from fifth grade and up, two issues emerged: One is the issue of who will decide how minors will dress, and the second is the social pressure

In the past, the majority of those who oppose Recep Tayyip Erdoğan used to raise hell when they saw a bearded man and two headscarf wearing women; they would say, “Reactionism is here, reactionism.”
