Muslim girls who are wearing the hijab in USASchool bus drivers have been accused of racism after failing to stop for pupils wearing Muslim hijabs. Young girls have claimed they are being bullied on board for dressing in the traditional veil which covers the head. To avoid trouble, ‘cowardly’ drivers are allegedly ignoring pupils who wait at bus stops wearing the headscarf.
The problems centre on Merseytravel and pupils attending West Derby's Holly Lodge Girls' College in Merseyside, where 10 per cent of the 11,274 11 to 18-year-old students are from ethnic minorities. Members of the Muslim community said the issue was a long-running one.
