During an open day at a Catholic school in Britain, a muslim teacher and two of students were ordered to remove their veils. The two students complied but the teacher did not. As a result the Catholic school told the teacher she will not be allowed on the school premises.
Good for the Catholic school, they're in their right to enforce their dress code. Do you think it would be any different for a non-muslim woman visiting a mosque?
The party were from an Islamic school in Great Harwood, Lancs and were visiting St Mary's College in nearby Blackburn, which was staging its annual open day.
The two schoolgirls agreed to take off their niqab veils, which leave only slits for their eyes.
However, their teacher refused and was taken into an office at the sixth form college and told she would not be allowed on the premises.
St Mary's College yesterday defended the move, claiming that staff had requested that the trio remove the traditional Islamic veils because they are against the school's dress policy.[...]
Muslim leaders condemned the college's reaction, saying it threatened to reignite the debate over religious clothing.
