What do you think about the new law allowing schools to ban muslim veils. Do you think this is a sensible law or will it only make things more difficult and encourage some girls not to attend school?

School uniform invented not to make life harder. i believe in school uniforms and if you do something not right with it- it is not right. I cannot accept full veil at school. I don't think it is something good. If you want to follow your beliefs- that's fine. But my son is scared by full veil (not just covered hair). He some how cannot use to that. And girls are in the very difficult situation: one side - follow the instructions from the family. Another - restrictions from the school. But Low is For everyone in this country and it is the same for Muslims or not.

The veil should be removed from schools. Just think of the out cry if some demented being walked into a school and shot either the children or teachers while wearing a veil, how would you find the culprit. Just as the killer of the Policewoman escaped the country wearing a veil and pretending to be a woman the same applies everywhere else. The veil should be banned in public nationwide not just in schools. This is not Iran and run by dictatorial mullahs even if Blair is a petty dictator.

I think they should not be allowed to wear the veil. Except perhaps in an all Muslim school. Then it should be checked, as to what is being taught there. I think the law is sensible especially in the light of things these days.

take it more than serious. Yes sir It sounds Weird I don't understand So I wouldn't even bother to ask for with liberty and justice for all, consider the fact of being hatred against Muslims And Islam world, fakes and non-believers can't speak gathered together to celebrate for the same cause no matter the troubles, I'm talking about the same thing is going on in tunisia , Don't matter what color, WITHOUT A DOUBT ON THE SPOT BE AWARE NOT SURPRISED,,, No more psychological warfare to the republic, That law allowing people to planting seeds of hate Been cheated of Muslims youth. That law exploiting it's supremacy, That law is distributor of pain, Of bad seeds of hate, That law keeps playing it's position keeps making the people listen, So unfeeling the justice's loss becomes that law's gain..

The girls that wouldn't attend school because they can't wear a veil don't need to be in school anyway. The veil as a part of their culture comes from the same source that says females don't get educated, and neither is from the Koran.
They can't pick and choose. If they want to dress like 16th ignorant servants of men, then fine. Go be that.

Well, all schools have some sort of a dress code, like the one where kids aren't allowed to wear hats. I think veils would follow under that rule. I think it's fair. I know veils is part of a religion, but since muslims pushed so hard to ban anything that was of religious influence like the Pledge of Allegiance here in the US. Then they should do the same.

It's about gaining a false sense of safety at the expense of others. I wonder if veils are required within the religious practice. If they are required then they should not be banned in public schools because public school education must be provided until the age of 16 and cannot violate the constitional freedom of religion.
How about yamulkes?

Excellent news! Veils are a matter of choice,not religious reason.There is no reason why it should make things difficult. There are many other items of clothing banned in schools,so why should the veil be any different. Children are not allowed Balaclava's, which cover the face and look intimidating..............so whats the difference??? We ALL should abide by the SAME rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In which nation?
As to if this law pertains to a Western nation: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. While I respect that the veil may be an expression of the person's religion, Sikh's are not allowed their ceremonial daggers in school. We all have the same law, and no certain segment of our society is above, below, or any otherwise outside of it, because of religious doctrines.

Hey it's about time,
Hoodies are not allowed.
An elderly lady in Aldershot was told to remove her hat while in a particular public house or leave.
This is still a Christian Country which happens to welcome other religions and cultures here to live, free from the terror administered in their own countries. Our laws and customs and rules should be observed by all.
