Nobody is breaking the law by making Islamic school girls wear the hijab or even the veil. Religious institutions are given exemptions (some might say special treatment) from certain laws which bans discrimination towards women and other groups
Do I agree with it? Not necessarily, but I hope in the interests of consistency, the same people asking for a ban on mandatory veil-wearing for girls in schools are also prepared to deny the Catholic and Anglican church the right to discriminate against gays and lesbians which they do routinely and legally.
