I did not think wearing the veil was totally due to religious beliefs, but up to each individual as to how far they interpret the law of their religion and to show respect for their husband.
I wonder how nursery settings would incorporate a female wearing the full veil during their employment, what effect it would have on all children in the setting?
Personally I believe that the laws of this country should be obeyed, we do respect religion and culture etc., but sometimes I think we can take this too far. People emigrate here because of our values and openess and freedom. I cant understand why these ladies want to go so far as to continue to feel they need to respect themselves by covering up to that extent. But then I do not practice their religion. Personally I feel for PSED, CLL faces need to be seen so that a child can read facial expressions, watch the persons mouth when being spoken to etc., etc., I dont find the veil threatening in any way, but when it can effect speach, and people reading your body language, thoughts and expression I think I would find it unsettling and questionable for the need to totally hide behind a piece of material.
Perhaps someone on this site who wears a veil can contribute to the discussion and enlighten us as to the benefits to everyone they come into contact with in this country.... we know the benefits for their husban (for his eyes only), but .......
