All the schools in Karnataka re-opened today after an interim High Court order was given last week. The order said the ‘educational institutions can re-open but no religious clothing will be allowed’.
In accordance with the order, students at a government-aided school in Karnataka’s Mandya district stopped students wearing hijabs at the school gates.
One woman is seen ordering a students to “remove that, remove that”, when a girls were entering the school.

However, a heated discussion between the parents and the woman (presumably a teacher) can be seen in the video. The girls then removed the hijab and entered the school with a mask.
Though the conversation in the video is unclear, it seems that he was not happy with the situation. He then allowed his children to remove the hijabs and attend school.
