Welcome to Canada, unfortunatly will will have to obey Canadian laws. If you don't like that is unfortunate, go back to Egypt.

Oh, oh, that college is going to have to pay her a bundle.

Sadly, you're probably right.


Although I fully applaud the effort of tossing her.


The islamification of Canada continues.

Knowing he human rights commissions, they'll not only make the college pay her a bunch of money for the trauma she has suffered from having her feelings hurt, but force the college to make special accommodations where she will be taught one on one by a female teacher.

Where this is Muslim vs. French it'll be interesting to see how the CHRC plays this.

What ever happened to live and let live?

A lot comments here are against her and nothing but applause for the college but seriously both parties are to blame. She asked too much of the college and the college expected too much from her. I think both parties should have been a lot more forgiving. This lady is obviously a strict muslim and that is her choice she should not be suspended from school or have her abilities undermined by the ignorant.

What do you think are the excessive expectations the college had of her? That she participate in the class like everyone else? I don't think she was expelled from the college (poor choice of words by the reporter). She was taking one class and asked to leave it because the accommodation she required was no longer possible.

WTF was she doing trying to attend a school anyway?

Like I said Andy it is a two way street, there should be a little give and take on both sides. She was unreasonable in her request and the Cegep was unreasonable in removing her from the class.

Those of us born and raised in Canada have had it very good for a long time. The future of this country, if it is to succeed, will be in immigration. We as a society need to learn to get along and make adjustments or we will end up like Britain only worse.

But what would you have the college do? They did try to accommodate her by allowing her to face away from the male students when she removed her veil. When too many males registered, that became impossible, so she was no longer able or willing to comply with the requirements of the class. Do you want them to just give her a pass anyway?

Please dont mention Britain here

We could just as easily do as the Czech Republic, who have
encouraged people from Russia and Ukraine to immigrate.

No one should get a free pass ever, but institutes of education should not decide who is entitiled to an education based on Religon either. I dont know all of the details but I am sure something could have been done without it ending up in Newspapers and before the CHRC

Wow, you're really twisting the story here. The college did not decide to kick her out of the class based on religion. It did allow her to take the class, and made an accommodation until that became impractical.

$1:

The CEGEP said the woman knew before she registered for the course that instructors want to see student's faces to correct elocution and pronunciation.

What's more, they say the woman removed her niqab at times for ID photos.

Officials said they accommodated her demands at first by allowing her to give a presentation while facing a wall so that male students would not be able to see her.

But Paul-Emile Bourque, director-general of CEGEP St. Laurent, told CTV's Cindy Sherwin that the woman's demands eventually became unreasonable.

"Eventually what happened is there were more male students and configuring the class … was not easy for her to be hidden from the students," he said.

This is one class. Not an entire education. If she wants to learn French, maybe she can find an all female class somewhere.
