Oh what a ridiculous situation, and how distressing for the parent and child.
If we are to be a truly multi cultural society, then we must tolerate everyones beliefs, dress, jewellery etc.
However, this takes my mind back to the early /mid 70's when seikhs in this country had the law changed in their favour, in as much as they didn't need to wear crash helmets on motorbikes if they wore a turban, and uniforms were changed to accommodate their religious dress. There was alot of bad feeling towards them as people were unsure of the reasons behind the dress, and I am sure that the resentment towards the veils will die down too as people gain a better understanding and more tolerance to everyone's differences.
I hope that it happens sooner rather than later
