Good, she shouldn't be teaching in Europe anyway as we want our values teached - something she can't do the way she's behaving and with these clothes.

How would her clothes or even religion affect the way she teaches math?

idk what to think about this. Like, you should respect customs at your workplace, but on the other hand having to leave your job because of something like this...

She didn't have to, she chose to

It's ironic how people are so quick to learn Japanese/Chinese traditions of greeting, but as soon as there is a Muslim involved.........

Japanese and Chinese shake hands in addition to bowing regardless of gender. If you are a foreigner they will opt for a handshake with a bow during it. If you are one of them, they will just bow.

Try harder

There's always interaction and you're a role model as a teacher, no matter which subject you're teaching.

nobody has to shake anyones hands.

She shouldn't have to conform if it's against her beliefs.

I don't think she actually chose to resign...

Text in article links to another that says Muslim man was fired. Whereas this woman quit.

I said in the last thread that this debate is ridiculous and people shouldn't be forced to touch each other.

There's literally no right or wrong way to respond to this. Everyone has an opinion on here.

We've been in the same threads recently. I'd rather put my energy towards something that's incontestable (racism towards black people.)

EDIT: And men.

If she lives in a western society she should adapt. It's simple.

LOL what kind of backwards thinking is this? If you want to function in a society, you NEED to conform. You can't come into a country and live by your own laws and rules.

I live in an Arab/Muslim country. This isn't shocking to me. Some women even consider it disrespectful if a man sits next to a woman.
But if you're going to a westernised country, you should adapt or go back to where you came from. Like girl a handshake isn't going to kill you, and God shall not smite you for it.

You think teachers should be putting their hands on students? If Teachers are to be role models then I guess no one who smokes should be hired then...

Ok... So maybe she quit before she got fired? Perhaps he was fired because he refused to resign...

[lonnie]

All because she didn't shake hands?

A comprehensive integration process is necessary for both parties. What I don't understand is how they act like muslims didn't exist in Europe before this year.

[MonsterPaw]

Omg just shake the hand

Her beliefs are sexist though, we don't want those in the western world, thank you very much.
I wonder if you were of the same opinion if it was an old man from some small village who refused to shake hands with a black person.

[dabunique]

Maybe I'm in da wrong here but it's jus a handshake, if she can't do it, so be it
Let me start practicing my hand on my heart bow so I'm ready when I see her

Or like I greet people with a Hey Girl, how u
I'm Latino so there is a lot of touching in our greetings, hugs, kisses, etc but I understand how others aren't used to it or they don't do dat lol

If she sucked as a teacher, then she needs to get da boot, not if she refuses to handshake a guy.
Forced resignation doesn't mean she quit y'all

Context. She's not shaking his hand out of respect. The whole business of not touching black people stems from the anti-black notion that they are dirty and inferior. And as we know Islam is far from anti-man so that is not her intention...
