(NEWS) Syrian Minister Bans Burkas In Schools

"Higher education minister prohibits face veils, saying they negate academic values.

The Syrian minister of higher education has prohibited the entrance of veiled female students into universities and colleges throughout the country, news agencies reported Sunday.

Dr. Ghitath Barakat explained that the donning of face veils, which cover everything but the woman's eyes, 'opposes the morals and values of the academy'."




My Opinion

This is very surprising of Syria to do this but of course the Arab world will not look down on Syria for doing this as much as they do on the West, because after all the West owes it to the Arab world doesn't it! ~sarcasm~
