Pattani: A Buddhist group Thursday demanded a local school reinstate a ban on Islamic headscarves and other religious clothing or face a protest. The demand came a few days after Anuban Pattani School overturned a previous ban and agreed to allow students to wear religious clothing to school following complaints by parents. According to the group, Anuban Pattani School, which is located on the temple's property, had followed the wishes of a former abbot for 50 years without incident until recently. The parents threatened to protest against the ban by having their children wear Muslim clothing to school when it opened on Monday. According to the parents, the Education Ministry's uniform regulations allow students to wear religious clothes and the school ban was not right.
