Wearing of turbans or patkas in secondary schools in Belgium VI

On the fourth of September Sikhs in Belgium organised an action in Sint-Truiden, asking for the right of Sikhs to wear their turbans or patkas in school. It was not a protest, it was a move in our attempt to start a dialogue with the wider community about the issue.
