The Supreme Court on Thursday overturned a decision allowing girls professing Islamic faith to wear hijabs in a church-sponsored school.

In a majority decision, the judges agreed with the Methodist Church that it was not given an opportunity to fully address the matter when the Appellate Court allowed Muslim students to wear hijabs contrary to rules of St Paul’s Kiwanjani Day Mixed Secondary School.
