(Switzerland) Muslim girl made to attend swimming lessons

[The Straight Story]

56. Well

First off, I am sure many don't care about the culture and religion part - but there are government run schools that have certain standards and they should not have to change - go to a private school. Or, look into things before you move somewhere (some personal responsibility).

If businesses want to change how they work/operate that is a private business decision.

Zero tolerance is stupid but this is not punishing a kid for something they did, it is what they are refusing to do because the teacher is of a particular sex (and many progressives don't like sexism - though some will say just about anything we do is sexist....)

The glee comes from the whole religion angle - where we have religious people trying to change society to fit some book they read instead of trying to sit down like adults and discuss changes and ideals we can all live without outside of said books. If someone claims to be against abortion because of the bible I can easily just dismiss it, they are not thinking for themselves. If they say they are against for other reasons not being spoon fed I will listen and discuss (kind of like how some dismiss any gun argument by labeling you an nra shrill/member - they are not able to think and discuss the issue and rely on a catchphrase drilled into their head).
