started this petition to
Sarah Jacobs and Sarah Bonnell School
Sarah Bonnell school is an only girls school in East London. The headteacher, Sarah Jacobs and her senior leadership team have decided to make ridiculous changes to our historic and diverse roots in Sarah Bonnell. She has changed the school uniform completely including our school logo . But most of all, she has banned the Jilbab and salwar kamees which is worn by the majority of students in Sarah Bonnell. They attempted to do this last year and failed. They say they are a Multicultural society but why do they persistently try to get rid of our religious practices and symbols. This is not just about Islam. It is about rights. A student should have the right to wear clothing recommended by their religious practices. Sarah Bonnell refuse to listen to parents queries and concerns and have not even considered to ask students opinions on this matter. Muslims stand up for your beliefs even if you don't wear the Jilbab, this affects your religion. Make sure your voice is heard! As students we have rights too! Stand up for what you believe in. And non muslims, please help us in this cause to release the chains of the media and ignorance. We should be able to wear what the school had once allowed and our religion has always encouraged. So please let's get 5000 people to sign this petition and once again make Sarah Bonnell School a multicultural,diverse and accepting society. Spread the hashtags on twitter,facebook and instagram:
