The 16-year-old girl was attending a school that had a rule that all students had to wear the Muslim headscarf.

The government has given schools 30 days to revoke any existing rules.'

Bravo! Anything to do with religion should be choice, not forced.

Interesting. I wonder if the Indonesian authorities are worried about the growth of the Muslim puritanism that has infected the religion in so many other parts of he world. Anyway, a surprisingly positive decision.
