I just don't think the 'you don't like it, you don't come here' argument holds any water in a state-built and funded school. Especially when much of the Government's spin about parents being able to choose where their children are schooled remains largely a myth. State funded schools should be sensitive to their local community, which includes the 10% non-muslim pupil population they will have.
A variation on the uniform for non-muslims is not unreasonable in the slightest. Many non-muslim state schools have accepted variations on their uniforms in case a muslim
does want to wear the veil. This seems to me to be a far more inclusive and tolerant way to behave. Or is inclusivity and tolerance only required when it is exercised towards minority groups?
