The teacher should framed the public criticism in the context of respecting classroom and school expectations, such as wearing clothing that is appropriate for the learning environment. The focus should be on the inappropriateness of the students’ attire as a function of respect and safety within their educational setting, rather than any attack or commentary on their specific religious beliefs. Doing this would be an equitable way to show all students that such behavior goes against accepted standards while still respecting student freedom and right to practice as they wish.

The teacher could frame their public criticism by highlighting the purpose of public education and the fact that dress codes are standard in most academic institutions. It should also be noted that wearing religious attire does not take away from students' right to free speech, it just needs to be kept within an appropriate setting. In this case, the dress code is a form of respect for other people's opinions since religious attire can serve as a trigger for certain audiences. Ultimately, the students' choice of attire is not only creating an obstacle when learning but also affecting the sense of freedom of others who don’t share similar beliefs. All these points need to be addressed if this issue is to be properly addressed in an educational environment
