A 24-year-old Muslim teaching assistant is fighting against a tribunal ruling that she cannot wear a full-face veil in the classroom. Pupils complained that they could not understand her well as they could not see her lips move; she was then suspended and sacked. The 'veil' row is hot on people's lips at the moment; is it religious discrimination to sack a person who will not refuse to remove their veil? Or is it practicality issues such veils pose that people detest? What do you think?
yawn.
common sense etc
kids need communication, non-verbal communication is just as important as non-verbal.
Sack her and refund the taxpayers funding this charade ASAP.
I think the veil should be banned, together with crosses, skull caps, turbans, rasta locks...everything that doesn't apply to me, because I'm a small-minded, ignorant dailymailer who hides his xenophobia behind claims of 'common sense'.
