Suspended teacher should have removed veil, say Muslim leaders

[von-Scharnhorst]

LEADING Muslims have backed a council that suspended a teaching assistant because she refused to remove her veil in the classroom.
Aishah Azmi, 24, a bilingual support worker at a West Yorkshire junior school, insisted on covering her face and mouth.

She was asked to remove the veil during lessons to improve pupils’ communication skills because they were finding it difficult to hear what she was saying.

When she refused, she was suspended and took her local education authority to an employment tribunal. Its ruling is expected within two weeks.

Kirklees local education authority said that it took the action because it had a duty to act in the best interests of the pupils.

The suspension was supported by Shahid Malik, the local Labour MP, local Muslim councillors and the Muslim Council of Britain, all of whom agreed that Muslim women were not required by their religion to cover their heads, let alone their mouths, in the presence of pre-adolescent children.

The above is interesting in that, it shows that these *******s are doing it, ie wearing bin bags over their heads, just to be awkward.

WE NOW HAVE THE PROOF.
