I think it is the schools responsibility to provide an education to their students regardless of their Faith.

 

What you are suggesting may seem like the logical thing in the short term, but there will be many other women in her position who are potentially being refused an education by this decision.

 

You don't win by forcing her to remove her Niqab, you win by educating her. That should be the priority.

 

These kinds of rejectionist policies are gathering all sorts of "righteous argument" to support them but they boil down to the same thing, intolerance.

 

I have seen far too many cold blooded attacks on Muslim clothing throughout Europe over the last few years to believe that this case is "Genuine". What is far more likely is that it is another opportunistic attempt to undermine the faith of these people by forcing them to abandon their religious convictions.

according to the first blog entry that enrolled in a school with males and then decided no males can hear her voice. I could sit here all day and dream up scenarios less outrageous that no school would put up with. Where does it end? She needs to take her classes on line. Class rooms are all about interaction. She refuses to interact. She is wrong not everyone else. If it was as simple as "can she cover her head" most on this forum would be on her side. You trying to make it that when it is clearly much more is repugnant.
