sorry, yarmulke, turban, niqab, if you are going to take a stance that religious symbols are out of place in a publically funded school then it does not matter how overt or large these symbols are, they need to go. Make a ruling, make it into a law.
If there is no law on the book then its just one person’s preferences or views. and that carry no weight.
So yes, make a policy that in public institutions religious symbols, clothing etc are nto allowed and thus turban, yarmulke, niqab is not allowed. take the crosses of school seals and crests. and holidays that algn with religious events of particular religious groups need to go as well then. I am all for it. and it does not matter how large or small the item is, if you have a standard rule it applies to everyone..even if the dot on the head of some needs to go.
but do it all the ay not in a half-assed away..
but then what of cultural stuff, ppl in India and Pakistan, of hindu, muslim, sikh, zoroastrian belief all have women who have dupatta on their heads, would that also be not allowed?
In addition she did nto say she would keep her niqaab in front of students, and male colleagues do not need to see her emote now would they?
