That, Ladies and Gents, is the crux of the matter.
Western Law dictates that the State cannot legally recognize you UNTIL it can verify your identity.
The constant clash between Muslims [and for that matter, illegals in the US] illustrates that point.
Illegals have no 'legal' identity......it's exactly what makes them ILLEGAL.
Exactly. Besides, a woman in a muslim country that demands her enshroudment, hardly needs an identity. She’s never anywhere without a male relative; no better than a pet, and the govt hasn’t gotten around to embedding a chip in the female human yet.
Anyway, this is a cultural thing, not a religious obligation, so the school can hardly be accused of religious discrimination. Not that there’s anything wrong with a parochial school practicing religious discrimination.
