Battles over religious symbols are raging as a Christian woman took on British Airways over her cross necklace and a Muslim teaching assistant defended her stance on wearing the veil.
this is how the quesation should have read.
do you think the two issues are hardly the same
The two issues are different , the cross contravened regulations on the wearing of jewelry with uniform. The veil was a practical matter,she was only asked to remove it in the classroom while working with young children, as it was impeding communication with the children, She was not prevented from wearing it in other areas of the school, Neither of these were religious issues.
