Re: veil or cross
The press doesn't half enjoy trying to get people all fired up against each other and if there's any little thing that smacks of prejudice oh boy don't they report it in all its exaggerated glory! Then people jump on the bandwagon and before you know it they're complaining about something somebody didn't exactly say or do or think in the first place instead of just calmly looking for real facts.
I don't think anyone should be sacked for wearing a cross, or be asked to remove it. Provided it doesn't present a hazard then everyone should be entitled to wear their own little somethongs like that. As for the veil, was it actually a problem for the children in the class? If so then yes asking the teaching assistant to remove it wasn't unreasonable and shouldn't be seen as such. If it was preventing the children from learning the language she was trying to teach them then it was interfering with her job.
If. however, it wasn't interfering with her job then it shouldn't have been an issue.
