It's not religion, it's the stupid school and the stupid people managing the school, there is no religion in the world that says that girls needs to be girly, and do girly things
The school is religious.. It wouldn't happen at a public school.
Like I said it's not the religion it's the people at the school that are stupid, a Public school is regulated by the the public law and it doesn't mean that some people in some public school would not think the same and want to do the same they are just afraid of the consequences.
If I was the parent of the child the first thing I'd do is to remove the kid from that school paying $$$$ to hear such stupidity is pretty lame
Second thing would be to boycott the school and seek out the maximum media exposer till the person responsible for this get proper punishment.
