So much for freedom of religion.
What a dumb fucking reason. Really, that's the best he could come up with? Why not? What's so bad about knowing someone's religion, when they are obviously not shy about it?
I get banning religious symbols from schools, because the institutes themselves are supposed to be non-religious (seperation of state and church and so on), but if the students themselves want to express their religion, let them.
School is a special place. Religion must not get in
Said every authoritarian ever. So you don't believe in freedom of religion and being able to express that?
Of course I do, just not in school. School is more sacred than religions
That's literally what freedom of religion means though. To be able to express your religion in both public and private, without the state interfering. Every EU country has committed itself to the "EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief". Freedom of religion does not mean that people are free to follow their religion behind closed doors or in places that you or the state allow them to practice it.
To be honest pupils still have the right to talk about their religion. The difference between clothing and discussion is that clothing seems more intrusive to others
