Does anyone else think this is yet another example of the degrading of our way of life here? I mean, I'm all for respecting the values and traditions of other races, but in this particular example the teacher is responsible for educating British children. If she wants to wear a head scarf - fine, but when the wearing of a veil is responsible for degrading the quality of her teaching - it should be a no-brainer.
And why is this classed as sexual discrimination? Sure the only discrimination here is discriminating against the kids who can't understand what she is flipping saying.
She has rights - yes, but what about the rights of the kids to a decent education? I'm really beginning to despair about how the UK can be held to ransom by anyone who claims they are being discriminated against. :evil:
