An absentee dispute ensued between the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, and the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, Olga Vasilyeva. The head of the Ministry of Education and Science said the other day that the discussion of wearing hijabs in Russian schools looks strange for the simple reason that Russia is a secular state and that the corresponding ban was recognized as a legal decision of the Supreme Court.
Olga Vasilyeva:
I do not think that true believers try to emphasize their attitude to faith with attributes. We have a secular nature of education.
However, she cited examples with episodes in the Stavropol region, where the father forbade daughters to attend school and came into conflict with the leadership of an educational institution due to the fact that they forbade girls to wear hijabs.
Kadyrov commented on the statement of the Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in his
Instagram:
The Constitution of the Russian Federation “guarantees freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, to choose, have and spread religious and other convictions and act in accordance with them” (Chapter 2, article 28). Apparently, not all officials read this article. Olga Vasilyeva, Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, said: “The Constitutional Court has decided that hijab, as emphasizing nationality, has no place in school! Therefore, I believe that this issue was resolved by the Constitutional Court ... And I do not think that true believers are trying to emphasize their attitudes to faith with attributes. This is my deep personal conviction. " But the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation did not consider this issue and did not take a decision on it! Conclusions based on a non-existent decision should be recognized as erroneous and misleading Russian citizens. A handkerchief is not an attribute, but an important part of the clothes of a Muslim woman, which is prescribed by the Most High Allah and the Prophet (pbuh). Vasilyeva has the right to express her “personal conviction”, but it remains her opinion and does not accept the force of law. It is surprising that the Minister, instead of correcting local leaders, imposes his “PERSONAL CONVERSION” to millions of citizens. My three daughters go to school, wear hijab, have excellent grades. Does Olga Vasilyeva require them to take off their scarves? Girls will never do that. Should I pick them up from school and with them look for a place where girls will be allowed to be Muslim? In the fight against the enemies of Russia, which guarantees the rights of 30 million Muslims, I lost hundreds of people close and dear to me. I am convinced that the theme of scarves is tossed in to divert public attention from the real problems of the school. Drug abuse, drunkenness, crime, systematic abuse of teachers on the sexual integrity of children ... That's what should worry everyone who fights with hijabs. Study the role of Islam in the development of world science. Chemistry, physics, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, geography, philosophy, agricultural engineering, linguistics ... The merits of Islam in these areas are known to the whole world. Therefore, you should not try to pour water on the mill of those who are interested in splitting Russian society, provoking high-profile conflict situations!
Recall that the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation banning the wearing of hijabs, as well as mini-skirts and blouses with a deep cleavage, girls-schoolgirls was recognized as legal in the Republic of Mordovia. Initially, this decision was made by the Mordovian government. All-Russian decisions on this issue yet.
Discussion of the topic of wearing hijabs in schools again heated up after the decision of local authorities in one of the regions of Tatarstan to impose a ban on the wearing of religious paraphernalia in public educational institutions.
