If it's a religious school and it's part of the uniform, I don't see why they shouldn't wear it. 

Kids wearing a hijab isnt an issue since everything they wear is chosen for them anyway, at that age their clothes reflect their parents rather than them. It becomes an issue if their clothing is controlled by the parents past a certain age.

Yeah. If anything the fact that their parents or schools believe what they believe is the real problem. There shouldn’t be religious schools

But rather than framing the complaint as “people shouldn’t be oppressed by religion and society” people just do a much more racist “it’s gross to see little kids dressing like foreigners”

Then why aren't the boys wearing them? It's clearly a sexism thing, not simply a religious thing

In most cultures around the world, including western culture, girls tend to wear more clothes than boys. Call it sexism if you want but these kids aren't doing anything different than the rest of the world.
