Ideally, all religion should be separated from education, but that won't be happening any time soon thanks to this shambles of a government which has probably worsened the situation.

That's why I chose it as an example.

Who are you to call that ideal? What about the parents and children who will want religion in school?

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

i for the life of me cant see what your point is. so what if the cross is in the logo? it is still part of the uniform which must be worn regardless of a pupil's faith. if i designed a school logo incorporating a swastika would that be ok becasuse its simply part of the logo? of course not, it would rightly be seen as identifying a school with fascism in the same way a cross identifies a school with christianity.

I say to them, why indoctrinate? School is a place of learning. Why integrate religion into education.

Oh noes I just opened a new can of worms.

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

its a point thats hard to see russ. whichever way you look at it, as part of the uniform or logo, it features an iconic christian symbol which non-christians may have to wear. and as you say aa school chooses a logo featuring christian iconography. it can equally choose not to.

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

(Sigh)

I believe all pupils should wear their school badge or logo. Nothing extra is required. It is up to the school to decide what should be on that logo, and the board of governors is unlikely to allow a symbol of Nazi Germany to to included.

Demanding pupils wear an extra item of clothing relating to the faith of that school is one step too far and is entirely different.

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

and it doesnt in any way link them to christianity? a marketeer would incorporate iconography wherever possible to promote christian ideology.

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

You don't think religion plays a huge part in world affairs? Without proper religious education people grow up thinking all religion causes wars.

Only for you apparently. A school should be permitted to display whatever logo they chose on it's badge and all pupils, as part of that school should wear it!

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

sigh. if you believe it is up to the school to determine its logo is it not then also up to the school to determine its uniform?

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

Yes but veils are not part of conventional uniform (which is usually trousers/skirt, shirt/blouse, cardigan/jumper/blazer)! That simply relates to a faith!

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

I thought the common consensus here was that you aren't required to wear uniforms with logo's on

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

I'm very worried that I'm agreeing with you, especially when it 's over a religious matter, :erm: but :clap:

Re: School forces girls to wear head scarves
 

school logos do not need to incorporate crosses - that simply relates to faith.
