In six schools in the Stavropol Territory, Muslim students were prohibited from coming to class wearing hijabs. Corresponding complaints were received by the spiritual administration of Muslims of the region from the village of Kara-Tyube, as well as from residents of the Arzgir and Steppe regions. In Kara-Tyube, where until now, according to local residents, there have been no problems with hijabs, the director of school No. 12 refers to the charter of the educational institution, which states that students must come to classes in secular clothes: “the appearance of students must comply with generally accepted standards of business style and exclude provocative details.” The Ministry of Education supported the school. The prosecutor's office of the Neftekumsky district, to which the village of Kara-Tyube belongs, stated that in school No. 12, 320 students out of 380 are Muslims, but only five girls allow themselves “such completely covering clothes, which do not correspond to any national traditions of the local peoples, and besides and contrary to the Law on Education of the Russian Federation,” Komsomolskaya Pravda quotes a statement from the prosecutor’s office. It is still unknown what they can carry there under such clothes, they are scaring the prosecutor’s office. Children's Rights Commissioner Pavel Astakhov spoke out against the decision to ban hijabs.
