The State Duma commented on the scandal over hijabs in a Russian school.

Each educational institution has the right to independently determine the standard of clothing for students, but being outraged by the fact that someone is wearing unusual clothes is not the smartest behavior. Anatoly Wasserman, a member of the State Duma Committee on Education, expressed this opinion on Thursday, September 18, commenting on information about parents' outrage over students who came to Chubarov school in hijabs.

"Now the standards of clothing in each educational institution are determined independently, they may even determine that there are no standards. The issue of uniforming the form is not being discussed, but there are probably as many possible objections as suggestions. Therefore, I cannot unequivocally approve or, on the contrary, condemn such wearing," he said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

At the same time, Wasserman noted that the canons of Islam do not require wearing clothes that seriously hide the face and body, although they require modesty. In his opinion, it is excessive to impose such norms on children.
