Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Norway to ban
face veils in all schools
Ones’
tradition may not be always accepted in other places, and sometimes by law.
Wearing a
hijab, a veil that covers the head and chest, or burqa, enveloping clothes to
cover nearly the entire figure in public, is a long-kept tradition for many
Muslim women, even among world-class athletes, politician like Benazir Bhutto
and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai.
Now, Norway
is going to ban wearing of any full-face veil or mask in any educational
institution in the country. Why? The advocates say they want to encourage
students and learners to communicate with each other more and better. For Muslim
women, wearing this traditional garment is a symbol of modesty and privacy.
It sounds
highly controversial, isn’t it? What about in your place?
Enjoy reading
the article and think how teachers and students distinguish one from others in
the classroom if all the girls wear a face-covering veil.
