A school on Indonesia's main island has partially shaved the heads of more than a dozen girls, its headmaster said on Monday , after they were accused of wearing their Islamic hijab headscarves incorrectly.
An unidentified teacher at state-owned junior high school SMPN 1 in the East Java town of Lamongan partially shaved the hair of 14 Muslim girls last Wednesday, headmaster Harto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said.He said the schoolgirls did not wear inner caps under their headscarves, leaving their fringes visible.
"No teachers who have cut their students' hair have ever been sanctioned. The education office in Lamongan should sanction this teacher, at least removing her from the school and assign psychologists to deal with the trauma among the victims."
