Muslim Teacher Sacked

[Little Willy]

Just heard that the muslim teaching assistant,who refused to remove her veil in class,as now been dismissed by the local authority. In my opinion this is a victory for common sense. Your views please.

[Gromit]

Maybe she can now jobshare with that woman at BA check-in

[brionon]

Li'l Willy; I'm with you,mate.

[admarlow]

[Gromit]

hmmm, the usual suspects are gathering. Best not criticise though, don't want to be anti-English.

[youngmafbog]

About time too. Maybe the worm is turning on these zealots

[smudge]

Good riddance & I couldn't care a less what people think of that!

If a teacher had have appeared in the classroom looking like that when our daughters were at school, I would have taken them out & taught them myself at home until an alternative was found - end of!

P.S. Nice one Gromit!!!!

Every time I see a pic like the one on the BBC, above, it just makes me want to laugh.

And we have given her �1100 compensation for hurting her feelings, this country is run by the biggest morons on earth

[ummmm]

It should have never got that far in the first place

[bazwillrun]

its not always bad news is it !

now we just need to stop her getting the �1100

Yep, I like this one too. Some common sense at last. Makes a change.

Always interests me that topics of this nature always have a good response... but rarely people would air their opinions outside the walls of their house. Probably because someone within ear shot would be "offended". Crazy.

Anyway, back to the point. I believe this has nothing to to with being racist. The simple fact is that if your mouth is covered up, then of course your pupils aren't going to hear a ruddy word you're saying!

i'd like to know why, all of a sudden, muslims all over the place are starting to insist on wearing them everywhere, whereas before all this palaver they didn't?

i lived in bradford for 2 years, in the centre, and i probably recall seeing about 10 people in burkhas in that whole time -
that was about 12 years ago.

i think its time they adapted the burkha for the 21st century and allow for just the features to show.

Im a bit p**sed off has me and the wife work oppesite shifts we could buy 2 of them suits and share 1 bus pass

[janeo]

These veils are just "fashion" and nothing to do will religion. I'm glad the silly woman has been sacked.

[tyler06]

exactly JANEO the sikhs wear turbans when bombs & bullitts are flying. Because it is part of there religion. not to wind people up.

Aside from any religious debate I saw an interview with her and her lawyer and on a purely personal basis, the way she was in general, I wouldn't want her teaching my kids!
