Even Transport for London, thinking that they were acting in a true PC fashion, by including a small Muslim character in their £2million campaign for schools and nurseries, were later forced to withdraw the cartoon.

This from the Sunday Times:
Thousands of state primary schools are allowing girls as young as five to wear the Muslim religious headscarf as part of approved school uniform, a Sunday Times survey has revealed.
The rise of the classroom hijab has alarmed female Muslim campaigners, church leaders and academics. They say it is divisive, sexualises young girls because it is traditionally not worn until puberty, and should be “fiercely resisted”.
Ofsted, the schools watchdog, said there was “growing concern” about the trend. Inspectors are investigating whether head teachers have come under pressure from parents or religious leaders to change uniform regulations.

The hijab is not a compulsory item of clothing in Islam so the schools are allowing it to become a part of the school uniform to appease parents who want their child to wear it. It's a pity they don't offer the same consideration to boys who want to wear shorts when it's too hot or ban children from school when they have the "wrong"( unaccepted by the school) haircut.
