I think students need to be able to see the face of their teacher, so this is fine imo.

What a strange phrase for a self proclaimed atheist, all this religious jibber jabber has an unfortunate effect doesn't it?

Oh, I thought they'd gotten to you then ...phew.
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

I still think the coverall veil should be banned everywhere in this country, and I don't particularly care how many disagree with me either.

I actually agree with this too..religion and education should be kept separate. Also RE should focus on many different religions rather than mainly one or two. Our school was predominately Christian though it was not a faith school or anything, and nearly all of our RE lessons were learning about the bible and stuff. I would have much preferred learning about more interesting things...I had my grandma to teach me about jesus and such

we should teach our children that all religions are cults and wrong, we should tell them why religions develops and teach them the best science we know

all children should be aware that ALL gods are false

I agree with you about the security issues. There has to be a time and place where women can be asked to downsize to the hijab (headscarf) for identification reasons. I also imagine it would be very difficult to read and write whilst wearing the burqa in school and quite difficult for the teacher to see if the school girl is actually paying attention.

I also think some women are forced to wear the burqa but a lot aren't and if we take away choice from the women who choose to wear it, that makes us as repressive as the husbands who force it on their wives.

And this^^^

I do however think that religion should be respected, but to me school is school they're there to learn.

I also think there needs to some sort of re-education for immigrants into our country, so that they understand our way of life and that everyone in this country has equal rights and freedom, if they can't abide by our rules then bye bye!

It's almost as if we are bending so far to the left, we're going to meet with the far right!

Surprisingly perhaps I agree with you.

I do too.If people want to wear veils or burkahs then let them do it in a country where that is the norm.

[DemolitionRed]

I would still defend the right of any woman to decide for herself how she wants to dress, and to learn for herself why her religion requires such things and whether she thinks this is valid.

Banning a garment? Surely that just makes us look like the oppressors?

Regardless of our thoughts on this subject, I don't think 'now' is the right time. Muslims are really feeling the hate at the moment and Cameron appears to be piggybacking on that hate to rush in new rules.

But this is about Muslims.

sacred sister of allah would've been much more effective.

Stick to the uniform code.
If it's a none Muslim school then it wouldn't normally be part of the uniform.
If on the other band it is a Muslim school then I can't see a problem with it.
