Quoting AlphaF: Quoting Elisabeth: Are this quasi-religious schools run by the government? I think I missed something.
We have a lot of religious based schools here in the US but they are private schools. Public schools here are not allowed to promote religion in anyway. Just curious. |
That is a very intelligent qouestion Lisa...Honestly... |
Should I be flattered that you think so? 
Anyway, from reading the subsequent posts I know the answer. I find it interesting that these schools are run by the government. It makes this situation a rather sticky wick then! I think your government makes it clear that the scarf can't be worn in public schools, is this right? In any case, I think it is poor taste to make an example of a small child. Poor thing. Perhaps a little more thoughtfulness in handling the situation was in order.

You can keep your compliments to yourself. I am in no need of them. Coming from you, it means very little anyway.

Have you not heard of Bush's faith-based initiatives?
" President Bush has gone "under the radar" and around the Congress to spread his faith-based initiative throughout the federal government, according to a new study released Monday.
The study, compiled by researchers at the Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany, N.Y., is one of the first comprehensive looks at the Bush administration's efforts to redirect government grants to churches and other faith-based groups.
"Religious organizations are now involved in government-encouraged activities ranging from building strip malls for economic improvement to promoting child car seats,'' the study states. "

Quoting azade: The students are not exceptionally religious in any sense, they still go out to look at girls or smoke on the school's attic. |
Actually, muslim men don't have problems with feeling too restricted by their religion. It's only women who are not allowed to make a step without her husband's permission. (this is of course an exaggeration, but you get the point  )

Muslim men are not supposed to neither smoke or check out girls but you are right a lot of them are doing haram things anyway.
