Why in scarves? The cleverest?

Tram wisdom 2nd floor. XX century
Let me make a reservation right away: I have been a well-wisher of the new Minister of Education of the Russian Federation - ever since I heard the howl of liberals about her appointment. For me this is a sufficient recommendation. And all of Olga Vasilyeva’s undertakings after taking office only strengthened my favor towards her. Therefore, when I heard the news about the ban on Muslim headscarves at school, at first I suspected a “set-up”
Alas, the suspicions were not justified.
Let me remind you, in the Tatar village of Belozerye, in Mordovia “for the purpose of preventing extremism“The Ministry of Education of the Republic has banned the wearing of headscarves in local schools – both for students and teachers. Belozero residents considered the decree a humiliation in violation of the Constitution. A federal uproar arose.
Olga Vasilyeva interpreted the situation this way: “It is unlikely that a deeply religious person will give much preference to paraphernalia, and especially at school. Our education is secular."
Yes, this is just a personal opinion, but it also forces us to admit: even people like the seemingly traditionalist Vasilyeva still have not gotten rid of ritual curtsies towards those very liberals (who were cringing at her appointment), and the so-called professed by them. n. “universal human values” - killing everything living and unique, which prevents the creation of a faceless “global world”.
But if, given the secular nature of education, we have no place for “paraphernalia,” then Olga Yuryevna, entering the ministry building, and even getting into an official car, must take off her pectoral cross.
The Orthodox cross does not interfere with the work of the Minister of Secular Education
By the way, we do not have a party principle of education. Does this mean that some United Russia teacher has no right to wear the badge of his party, and a student – Zyuganov’s October child – has no right to wear a star with his curly-haired idol? Should a boy from an anti-clerical family who dared to wear a T-shirt with the face of PRP leader Gozman be kicked out of physical education class?
It is also sad that the most experienced specialist in the field of interfaith relations confuses “religious paraphernalia” - the same pectoral cross, rosary, icon (by the way, why not put it on his desk for a believing child) - with what, for example, in Orthodoxy is considered a pious tradition (for example, the obligatory wearing of hats by women).
Scarves “dissolved” - traditional Old Believer cut
And why should pious families break the traditions of their thousand-year-old family for the sake of this fleeting age? After all, just a hundred years ago, in the same Mordovian villages, the appearance of a woman with her head uncovered in public places (which is now considered deeply moral by the respected Olga Yuryevna and her disrespected local subordinates) was regarded as the height of debauchery and a challenge to society.
The situation is reminiscent of the language situation in Central Europe: a hundred years ago, no one in Little Russia knew about the existence of the Ukrainian language, based on the “Ukrainian-language nature of education”, they are beginning to prohibit speaking any other language even during breaks. So, tell me, how will a student’s everyday foreign language ability affect the “national character” of the school curriculum, the language of teaching a lesson, the class magazine, in the end? And how a girl’s head covered with a scarf will undermine the foundations of the secular nature of the presentation of, say, trigonometry.
The question “what’s wrong with headscarves at school?” I brought it up for discussion in "Facebook" and discovered such a pattern. All my Orthodox friends and acquaintances almost unanimously said: “Nothing.” That is, in general, they supported the rights of Muslims (there were some reservations, but they concerned particularities not related to the confrontation under consideration between “secular school” and “religious paraphernalia”).
As for the “secular part” of commentators, it was divided. Some people understood the secularity of education this way: if I am an atheist (although secularism is not a synonym for atheism), then everyone around me should not show their religiosity. It reminded me of Soviet times - when men in caps traveling after a work shift (with a stop for beer) were deeply outraged by the appearance of an engineer in a hat on the tram (following the working outskirts). So, in our time, such a “cap” has appeared: “If someone in my school wore a hat/cap/kokoshnik/niqab indoors, this someone would simply be bullied.” Much is explained in the argumentation of fighters against otherness.
Orthodox girls from the Edinoverie community of the Church of St. Nicholas on Bersenyovka in Moscow. Will you order them to be “shocked” too?
Some gave this kind of argument: “If some wear scarves, then others wear aromatics.” Without explaining, however, why “aroma” is bad. As well as not answering the question whether they are in favor of introducing mandatory uniforms for teachers in this case.
Those who were unable to find any arguments at all answered the question with a question. For example, like this: “Do you also wear a headscarf to the school pool?” Opponents had to reveal to them the simple truth that people wear swimming caps to the school pool.
The second category of opponents sees the ban on school headscarves as an effective way to combat... Wahhabism. From here, it was apparently suggested that one could guess for oneself that if hijab headscarves are worn exclusively by future suicide bombers, then this is how they... disguise themselves? We follow the logic: if female suicide bombers are banned from wearing hijab, then by dressing as secular Europeans, they will become much safer for society. Yeah.
The entire experience of the fight against extremism shows: unjustified bans (and the headscarf is not a burqa, which prevents identification of personality and even gender) only create an aura of martyrdom around Islam, which only fertilizes the soil for the cultivation of terrorists.
All this was perfectly understood in the Russian Empire - the empire in its true purpose as the protector of small nations, with their culture and traditions. That is why the Russian Tsar was revered as the anointed one by Muslims, Buddhists, and shamanists, not to mention Christians of various persuasions. Totalitarian pseudo-democratic Europe, which is in fact a cemetery of peoples, as the publicist Igor once rightly noted, has called and continues to call Russia a “prison of nations” Druz. “The ban on wearing hijabs is another manifestation of liberal fundamentalism. This is a dangerous totalitarian ideology that violates the rights and freedoms of citizens. The Russian Empire never oppressed Muslims by forcing them to dress in a style that was unacceptable to them. This is a dark fanaticism that sows ethnic hatred, as we see in Europe. Liberal degenerates want general nudity and debauchery, they even force bathe all the women in small swimsuits».
Probably, if we were talking about the cultural aspect and the issue of interethnic relations, we could have finished. But I am an Orthodox Christian, and for me the main question is religious. And in my deep conviction, the most sincere and kind people of other faiths are on the wrong path. It is possible to return a heretic and a non-believer to the path of Truth only by preaching and praying for him. And that means Love.
But, I repeat once again, not by creating a halo of martyrdom instead of a scarf (or, as in the case of Sevastopol Catholics - refusal to return the church they themselves built in the last century). Why are we, guardians of the salvation of the souls of all people, better than liberal demons with their “St. Isaac’s Museum”.
