Now This Presents A Conundrum

Interesting article from the Times of India.

"You try to give the best to your children . Why deny them good education on religious grounds?" reasons Ahmed, a devout Muslim who never goes out without his skull cap. The women in his household wear purdah but he has no problem with his daughter wearing shorts to the playground or singing Vande Mataram at assembly. "The school has its rules and parents respect them,"

'People power'? Choice? 'Parental aspirations'? A lack of 'racial-equality' quangos? - You decide.


Funny old world though - isn't it?
