State Party Convention Urges Child Hijab Ban

In France, it was the burkini that courted controversy. In Australia, over the weekend, it was the hijab. Delegates at the Queensland convention for the opposition Liberal National Party passed an emergency resolution Sunday urging a ban on head scarves for girls under 10, according to the Australian Associated Press.

The resolution, which is nonbinding, came after the failure of proposals that called for a ban on immigration from countries with Sharia, or Islamic law, and another that sought the prohibition of clothing that obscures the face.

Brooke Patterson, a delegate from Southport State Electoral Council, introduced the hijab ban measure and said, as a member of a school parent group, she had been to asked to design appropriate school uniforms with “sexual modesty coverings.”
