14 students were shaved for not wearing the same hijab in school, a shocking incident happened in Indonesia
Jakarta, August 29, 2023, Tuesday
In a school located on the main island of Indonesia, 14 students were shaved for not wearing the Islamic hijab (head scarf). Girls wept as their head hair was removed as if not tying the headscarf properly was a great crime. According to the information received, the school is located in an area where both Muslim and non-Muslim students study, but it was compulsory for all students to wear headscarves.
This rule was implemented in 2021, which was opposed but not counted. According to media reports, the incident took place in a school named SMPN-1 in the city of Lemongas, East Java. A teacher who ordered students to shave their heads has been suspended. School Head Master Harto expressed regret over this incident.
The suspended teacher felt that the hijab did not look good without an inner cap under the headscarf. However, the head teacher rejected this. The school administrators apologized to the parents. Thus, this incident is an internal matter in Indonesia, but it has echoes abroad. People are calling the incident of forcing women to cut their beloved hair as an insult.
