The covering of women has no religious basis and therefore she SHOULD have no recourse to involve any Human Rights Commission. Her actions in the classroom displayed HER intolerance of our rules. Stop with the drivel on religious rights.
The cover is a symbol of oppression and exhudes an air of subservancy. In Canada and other Countries we have worked tirelessly to treat women as equals. This cover is depictive of the expectation that women are for child bearing, household duties and to provide sex when demanded. Imagine being a woman and you are not authorized to leave the house without being escorted by a man. Imagine not being valued enough to have an education. Imagine that your life can be ended at anytime by your male owner if he so choses to.
Canadians do not hide our faces unless the windchill dictates it.
By following this cultural oppression you are supporting the subservancy of women, something women in our country have worked so hard to reverse.
