Not always. Some deaf people lip read.(Original post by HotDetermination)
We can't just cycle through loads of hypothetical scenarios, particularly if the odds are rather low of said scenario occurring. But if you were deaf, you''d need a friend to translate for you via sign language.

Not always. Some deaf people lip read.. Of course there are some limitations of the burka, but if it allows individuals to express themselves and adhere to their religions then it should be allowed. We are a country that values freedom we can't just ban something like this from schools.

Just because you can see their eyes doesn't mean they are looking are you. And also, just because people have their eyes open doesn't automatically mean they can see.

You're making this hard for me aren't you. Of course there are some limitations of the burka, but if it allows individuals to express themselves and adhere to their religions then it should be allowed. We are a country that values freedom we can't just ban something like this from schools.

I mean, why not let women wear what they want?
Elizabeth Smart (look it up) was kidnapped and held in plain sight because she was forced to wear a burka by her kidnappers, she would have been found much earlier if it wasn't for that. -

It's a security risk. And the burka has no place in the UK. DEPORT HER! -

I agree and disagree. Women shouldn't be told what to wear, plain and simple. Let them wear whatever they desire.
The school is private property, its their rule. Either follow it or don't go. -

Actually I'm not. I do need to lip read sometimes, which is difficult when your face is covered. -

Is it a religious requirement to cover your face? -

I know where you're going with this... The point is some Muslimahs do want to cover their face as part of their religion so the freedom of religion should allow that.
The school has a duty to protect the children first and foremost, if they cannot identify someone on their premises it can pose a security risk which they are trying to avoid. -

bit over the top wouldn't you say? Shall we just deport everyone wearing a burka? Just imagine the consequences of attempting to try something like that. We value our freedom in this country, this includes the freedom for one to make their own decisions on what they wear. -

We value freedom as a society. If we deport them all, that would just make us hypocrites!

If it isn't a religious requirement then it isn't impacting freedom to practice religion. Perhaps it impacts freedom of culture but their no law against that.
The school has a duty to protect the children first and foremost, if they cannot identify someone on their premises it can pose a security risk which they are trying to avoid.
