The director of Anuban Pattani School had little choice but to reverse his ban on the hijab for students, or resign. He has banned the wearing of the Muslim head scarf, the hijab, at the large and respected Anuban Pattani School. The director, Prachak Chusri, must reverse this ban or suffer the legal consequences. Just three years later, the stubborn director at Ban Naiyong school in Phangnga tried to ban the hijab. Patient officials of the Education Ministry, the religious leadership of the South and the National Human Rights Commission have tolerated his ban.
