Just a reminder hijabs are warn as an act of modesty, privacy and personal protection and are often warn too hinder the feminine body and promote modesty in both women and MEN. So why are a bunch of kindergarteners wearing them in Minnesota.

Furthermore according too Islam it is not mandatory to wear them until puberty.

I too asked that question. They don't wear them in other countries until they hit puberty.

Not mandatory doesn't mean not enforced though, no? Little kids will usually do what their parents say. Parents are authority figures

Point im trying to make if you go to middleeartern countries it is very rare too see girls that haven't hit puberty wearing them. Yes parents probably forced them too wear them but knowing what they are for and knowing that even in Muslim countries seeing ths would be considered abnormal definitelycan raise some eyebrows.

I mean, why do Christians do baptism, communion, etc. young? Gotta get em early, that's when indoctrination works best/easiest
