Hello Internet! [By change the greeting heard =)]. I know right now should devote myself to write about another type of input, but I promise not to leave it in the ink, for my sake, what fool! but I would comment on a particular topic, and I've always had the expertise to do what is necessary and important to leave it for later. What dezazzztre! To the Point, I wanted to give my opinion about an event that happened in April, but that is still reverberating crescendo controversy that has arisen in our country (and which had already been commenting in advance ... ), I mean as to the acceptance of Muslim headscarves yihab or within schools. Is as ambiguous and capable of generating this debate this situation, which in some schools are being contested measures, such as public institute Camilo Jose Cela Madrid.
The fact is that this school took the decision to ban the use of clothing covering the head or face the students in the classroom, without exception. In this context is Najwa, English Islamic religion, which has been removed from classes to attend to them with the Muslim veil as criticized by many as the text tells us. Now, are brought closer regulatory policies and a ban on this garment have been some sites or you are in over our work?
First, clarify what is the symbolism of the hijab enrolled in the Muslim holy book (Quran), to better understand what we face. Formerly, this garment was used to distinguish the slave women who were not, but this has evolved in the Muslim world over the years to a garment symbolizing submission to God, and submission of women within of this society. Therein lies the conflict, should we accept that Muslim women in our country have voluntarily veil continue doing so, or take action to address a situation that has a much larger background as social inequality and violence towards Muslim woman paid to wear it? Complicated issue.
The hijab or Islamic headscarf, in fact, is a female dress which once covered most of her body, and today has been reduced to the face. Looking about, could give two explanations for why the Muslim woman wears the veil in question:

- Take it protects the family, since this way the husband does not feel attracted to women younger than his wife. This, paired with who feel that youth and women's beauty only lasts for fifteen years. In contrast, women who are ugly or older would not be obliged to wear it.
- take it also protects the woman wearing it, and so no man will be attracted by your body to be fully covered. This will prevent them from abusing it or to bother.
Incredible, but true. Instead of taking actions and / or educational and social policies to protect the woman in question and to tackle and prevent ill-treatment exerted on it, their culture and religion imposes a token male "protector" of the actions of men are not punished by the same religion as the subject. Embarrassing. So what happens? Bringing the traditions and customs of our country and begins to generate this controversy.
While their husbands, fathers or sons may go white pants and shorts, they are covered with a pledge to "voluntarily" take, and I put quotation marks because in some cases a willingness coerced by their own family and religion take it because it must carry, they want to carry because it says the religion of their country, but the symbolism sexist, reactionary and offensive to women remains as is. Submission and devaluation of women. But in other cases, as we are, not so! seems to be coercion or use. Finally, it seems complicated the ambiguity of the case. Although from my personal perspective, I think the fact that in his country do not mean it is correct treatment given to the female population, precisely because there is no freedom when you educate from inequality. But then, who are we to change his religion or his desire to take, although for some this is incomprehensible? or is not we who attribute to use a negative conception full of prejudices?
do not know where I read that religion serves to fix problems that would not exist if there were no religion, a very eloquent wordplay. We discussed the appropriateness of multiculturalism, but it seems difficult to integrate into our schools something that is currently regarded as a symbol of worthlessness and subordination of women. And there already if we touch a chord ... A symbol that indicated as many free to take, while on the other side questions such liberty for the same meaning as it has.
Ideal would be that this fact was studied by the team of educators, psychologists and educators working within the school in order to see and detect if any student is forced by their families or to take individual freedom exercised. Everything depends on it: "I am myself and my circumstances" And here we come, educators, at stake.
Perhaps we are in a time when we are particularly susceptible to issues affecting women's group, because we understand it as a potential threat to equality measures intended to be carried out in our country (to haul other European countries, of course) and In this case, as an icon despectipo theoretically and damage the image of the woman who is currently trying to take care. I do not share the forms or decision making center. Remove a student from classes does not seem the most appropriate way, not least from my point of view. Well now we have the situation that this girl is suffering from a diagnosed depression, at least so argues the father. Meanwhile, fellow of its kind have gone to school with headscarves in solidarity with her friend. That's when we wonder if something has gone wrong, and may not be so negative to wear the veil because it does not imply a deplorable image of women, beyond which we want to give.
We have a lot of subtlety and care with these situations in which there is a small line between the defense of the gender gap by deprivation of freedom, and we must never cross, it is education that must lead by example and not become an agent of exclusion itself.
Whatever it is, without going into further controversy, what is clear is that equality and freedom are two universal human rights, regardless of whether you are male, female, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, or X, and that we all enjoy.
