Burka to be banned in Danish schools (www.telegraph.co.uk)

The religious garment is already banned in public spaces, but the move would extend the order to classrooms across the country.

Mette Frederiksen, the Danish prime minister who formed a new Left-leaning government in June, hopes the measure will counter “parallel societies” of non-integrated foreigners.

In Denmark, “parallel societies” refer to urban residential areas where more than 50 per cent of residents are from a non-Western immigrant background.

A ban on full-face coverings, such as the burka and the niqab, was introduced in Denmark in 2018, with those who repeatedly break the rules facing a 10,000 kroner (£1,300) fine.

Literally watched 1 man take his 5 or 6 wives onto an international flight. Upon boarding ground staff holding up passport to face lvel and matching picture to face for every passenger. When it got to the man and his wives they were just waved through without any check or knowing who they actually were. This was a muslim country but I don't remember whether it was Malaysia or somewhere in Middle East. I never knew Muslims were able to travel internationally without even showing their face to an official.

Well, for certain reasons they're definitely not. I think what happened is they will have called ahead/ emailed to say "we'll be covered up, here are our ID's" or checked into a private room beforehand so as to not need to be searched in front of people.
