I remember when they gave religious groups and churches an exemption from the Equality Bill. The excuse they gave and the excuse people still give is that it wasn't workable in practice as it meant churches weren't free to set their own moral guidelines regarding women and gay people.
But apparently, when it comes to banning the veil, muslims just have to deal with it and girls who have been brought up their whole lives to wear a veil in public will just have to see the errors of their ways?
Sounds like good old-fashioned intolerance rears its ugly head once again. I hope the school is prosecuted for denying people the right to live according to their faith.

Didn't he once accidentally sneer his face off?
