A Danish adult education centre has banned the wearing of the niqab covering for Muslim females.
\nAccording to a report in The Independent, the case has come to the attention of the national media following a post on the school\u2019s Facebook page that sparked a debate about the policy.
\nVUC Lyngby posted a response to the crticism explaining that \u201ceveryone is welcome\u201d and that although nobody had been asking to leave the class, the new policy will only apply to for all future students.
\nSchool official Inge Voller told Metroxpress claimed that the policy was not religiously motivated.
\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a question of religion or ethnicity but of learning, as we are an educational institution. It\u2019s about how to create the best learning and we believe you can do that best when you can communicate openly with one another,\u201d she said, according the Copenhagen Post<\/p>\n

\nAlongside votes of support, the decision also has had a huge backlash on the Facebook page.
\n\u201cCan women no longer decide what clothes we want to wear? So much for religious freedom and a democratic right to wear the clothes we want. [The decision] must be rethought,\u201d wrote Anne Kirstine Gram Hovmann.<\/p>\n
