El govern birtànic autoritza les escoles a prohibir el vel islàmic

El govern britànic, fins ara molt tolerant pel que fa al vel islàmic, ha decidit modificar diverses directives per autoritzar els directors de les escoles a prohibir el niqab, o vel integral.

Ho recull la BBC:

Schools will be able to ban pupils from wearing full-face veils on security, safety or learning grounds under new uniforms guidance issued by ministers.
It says efforts must be made to accommodate religious clothing, but stresses the importance of teachers and pupils being able to make eye contact. It comes after a girl failed in a legal bid to overturn her school's niqab ban.
Islamic groups have been divided in their response - some "shocked" and others welcoming the guidance. Headteachers' leaders have applauded the decision, saying that it would provide "clarity" and "reassurance" for schools.
