There is nothing wrong with people wearing religious symbols as long as it does not cause a threat. But I do have concerns of teachers wearing a full veil out fit while teaching. Amina Azmi a teacher was dismissed of her duties. Read the story here if you are interested http://www.personneltoday.com/Articles/2007/04/02/39988/teacher-at-centre-of-veil-row-loses-dismissal-appeal-against-former-employer-kirklees.html
Children should know and see the teachers they are dealing with. Anyone can turn up to school pretending to be the teacher which puts lives at risk. In October last year, a tribunal ruled that the school’s actions that Amina Azmi did not constitute either direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of the teacher’s religious belief, although a compensation payment was awarded to her due for injury to feelings. So you lot what do you think. Should it be banned.

In response to Brenda's blog on banning of wearing religious symbols in the state environment; I do disagree on muslim women wearing veils. I find them scary and disrespectful, I have a problem with muslim veils but nothing else. I think abide with our society and wear what we all wear and show your true identity, if it was up to me I would ban them. Brenda did say teachers in schools should not need to hide there faces which I agree to and is a good comment.
