An 11 year old Winnipeg girl starts a partition to change the rules in the sport of judo. As an Immigrant myself, it is my understanding that I have to adjuste to the laws and customs of my new Country, and not the other way around. If your religion forbids you to omit a part of your clothing as requested by the written regulations of the game you like to participate in, please don't change our traditional rules, pick a different type of activity for yourself.

The governing body makes and changes the rules. A petition may bring attention to a potential problem or a need/want for changes but holds no legal value. If you don't like the rules, don't play the game.

I think you misunderstand the way of judo.
In particular, look to the Japanese origins of the sport, and the philosophy of the "-do" part of the word, which is also the same as the "do-" in the "dojo" where your practice.
You will find that the founders of the sport of judo were well versed the spirit of "-do" and sought to convey it tho their students and beyond.
Apparently ~ 100 years has left your teacher's lineage a little frayed. Sorry to hear about that.
