The English Department of Education and Skills in Great Britain has decided to give teachers the right to be able to ban Muslims from wearing their religious veils to school.
The authorities in favor of the ban asserted that the veil puts hindrance between the direct interaction involving teachers and students. Also, it acts as a separating wall with other students.
Consequent upon which, Islamic students may lag behind in comparison with their peers.
People who are not in favor of the ban argue that authorities are creating differences on the basis of religion and that the state is stripping a certain group of people from their religious beliefs.
Well, I assume, when we deicide to live in some other country then it becomes obligatory on our part to go according to rules and regulations of the nation. Every country has it own norms according to which it looks after the welfare of the citizens, after all, the norms aim at safeguarding public interests.

It is taken far too long to ban the veils at school, the situation was becoming ridicolous.
It is the right thing to do. Veils have no place in modern civil society. It is not a case of singling out a religion, it is a case of enforcing certain minimum standards of conduct consistent with the liberal humanism that is the basis of a modern civil society. Thumbs up to the Brits.
