The teaching assistant suspended for refusing to remove the full veil whilst teaching in class is now reported as saying that she was prepared to remove her veil in class provided that there the were no men in her class. For an employer to respect this wish would open them to a claim of unlawful sex discrimination by male teachers prevented from doing their job. No employer can tolerate being put into this position.
