if $reason is from $religion - then state has no say outside of other existing laws. if the state was “truly” concerned DCF would be called. we already have child safety laws. why have they used those laws? because it’s about intimidation and control instead.
a school should have zero say in what parts of a person’s faith is valid or not unless they are going to use existing mandatory reporting laws. not stupid control via things like dress codes because it’s not even a dog whistle at this point.
I disagree. I think the religious indoctrination of children is bad.
In my opinion the weirdest part is, that they are banning hijabs, but circumcision on babies is somehow still legal. Seems like we’re mixing our priorities a bit.
i never said if i think it is bad or good. just that a nation state should not be legislating it via side channel controls like school “policy” but instead, if care was had, through child laws.
