It's very easy to turn this into a 'racist' issue but it shouldn't be.

I absolutely believe in anyone's right to wear what they want to wear, but you have to wear what is appropriate at any given time. For instance, if a mother had turned up wearing a bikini then again, the headteacher would have had the right to ask the mother to wear the appropriate clothing.

The mother should know what is appropriate clothing for the situation and not make a fuss about it.
