Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Ban The Burka?
Schools are considering banning all signs of religious affiliation to “promote unity amongst students”. Minority groups and civil rights activists have expressed their outrage in protests outside the NATIONSNAME Parliament.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. Minister for Public Unity and General Goodwill, George W. Giono, has supported the claim, “This move will encourage students from different cultural and religious backgrounds to mix more freely. Removed of any symbols of difference, barriers of cultural otherness will be transcended and all will feel a sense of shared nationhood, which is what state schools should be encouraging. Social equality is what we’re aiming for here. Not controversy.”
2. “This is an outrageous proposition!” says shopkeeper Bianca King. “Everyone should have the right to follow their religion. I organise my store in strict terms of religious and cultural preferences. A Kosher section for the Jews, a ‘Fish on Fridays’ freezer for the Catholics and a vegan section way on the other side of the shop, away from the meat counter for those bald people in the orange robes. Freedom and diversity is what makes our nation great, and if everyone feels that this means they shouldn’t integrate then so be it!”
3. “Who needs religion anyway?” asks Steffan Johnson, Professor of Biology at NATIONSNAME University of Science. “Our nation is swamped in the mumbo-jumbo spouted by these money hungry crackpot evangelists. I say the people should be spared from these wacko delusions of gods and demons. ALL symbols of religion should be removed from ALL public spaces! Now that’s what I call freedom.”
