I understand where both sides of the argument are coming from. But if you make a dress code change for this lady, what is next? Where do we draw the line?
I love how these people come to Canada to "live the Canadian dream" but as soon as they get here they want to change every rule or law so it fits into their life style. I am the futherest thing from a racist but if you don't like it you can leave the same way you came.

Agreed.. This is the proper approach and people are too concerned with hurting any feelings so we bend over backward to appease everyone.

My boss who is a devote Sikh was the first person to say this to me.. I was so floored because it was so unexpected.. But he was absolutely right.. He used the example of the Simitar (sp) (Ceremonial sikh dagger) and the case about 10 years ago where there was outcry within the Sikh about telling their boys they can't have a dagger in school. He was so dead against allowing them to do this, and its part of his religion, he said if it starts there where does it end?? He said there is no way he could follow the letter of the law in his religion and still function in Canadian society. People who want to follow whatever religion to the letter of the "law" can feel free to, but they had better find a role in society that fits their way of life. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Society should not bend over backwards for every special interest group.
