#1 Â“The right to higher education cannot be restricted because of what a girl wears."

True. But the desired goal of higher education is made impossible by wearing the headscarf: a critically thinking graduate who understands she is not made more respectable, more modest or more worthy by covering her head in shame of her gender. That the Turkish PM finds headscarves acceptable in the university demonstrates he has a long way to go on his own educational path.
