Right, waste money and incite further islamophobia, that's the best course of action. What's sexist about wanting to keep your daughter safe and comfortable when she's learning to swim? Whether she's 7 or 15 there is nothing to lose by letting them learn separately, only to gain

first of all, stop trying to make " islamophobia" happen, it's not going to happen
secondly, keeping daughter safe? from who? 7 year old boys? do you think boys, especially at that age are some kind of sexual predators? and the teacher/coach is there to keep everybody safe in the first place.

EDIT: and learn what separately? do females swim differently than males in any biological sense that they need to have a different class to take? please.

They did? And how difficult would it have been to split the classes into boys and girls and leave it at that instead of paying thousands in court fees and making global headlines out of this non issue? Mainland Europe is a trip, and I thot Britain was bad

Why would they go to the extreme of segregating a classroom of kids and separating them from their friends cause some dumb bitch threw a hissy fit about their 7 year old kid being in the same room as a boy?

That would set a very bad precedent, and anyway, the stupid parents are the ones paying the fees, not the school..

Everything about that age is awkward. They're going through puberty, the last thing I wanted back then was for people to see me naked It's a cultural difference though, in North America we don't do this.

You went through puberty at the age of SEVEN (7)?

if they feel like not learning certain things because of their mythology, just like the case of Jehovah Witness skipping science classes a few pages back, they have the freedom to drop out of school.

Do they?
I thought that education is required by law in all modern countries. Does it work differently in Switzerland?

(keep in mind this is their parents brainwashing their children with such divisive ideas based of sex, while that school is trying to be inclusive and not divide them based of their gender.)

That's social values, they were different 200 years ago and will be different 200 years from now. Freedom is the core of the democracy.

Yes, I wasn't talking about education drop out, but the ones where they can seek a different school if they get triggered by an inclusive swimming pool.

Social values change because facts and arguments are overtaking discriminatory religious beliefs.

The only good ruling possible

1. You shouldn't have moved to Switzerland if you are not willing to adapt. You need the accept and adopt the culture and learn to speak and read its language, period
2. You didn't have to enrol your kids in a public school
3. Everyone screaming "homeschool your kids"; it's not that easy. You need a very good reason why your child cannot attend a regular school, there'll be inspections to make sure the children learn everything they need to learn, and you can bet that they'll need to be taught, including science, atheism, and religions different from theirs.

Very good, it's nice to see education and knowledge triumph over the obscurantism of a divisive and domineering religion.

Despite the usual suspects trying to trivialize the issue or resorting to that odious double-standard, children are the future, and their education and upbringing will shape them. If that education is segregated, there's a problem.

I hope other European countries start following Switzerland's example of common-sense policy.

The UK, for example, should get rid of all faith schools of every type and finally stop colluding religion with education and development.

Idk in the USA we have Catholic schools, baptist schools, Presbyterian schools, Jewish schools

It works well and people are happy. Maybe Muslim schools would solve some problems

I don't see why swimming classes are even required, but I also don't see the problem with this decision. Religion has too much power in public policy.

so kids won't drown? gurl...

[Bayonsay]

Poor dat.

[YoYo]

It's sad to see so many narrow-minded queers here. The regressive left strikes again .

Simple solution: Have the female muslim students take private swimming lessons and present a certificate of completion.
