“Schools have been told they should allow Muslim girls taking swimming lessons to cover themselves from head to toe in special outfits dubbed burkinis. An increasing number of pupils are insisting that conventional swimming costumes are “immodest” and, citing religious grounds, have been refusing to wear them. Now councilors in Ealing, West London, are encouraging local pools to stock the $39 Lycra ‘burkinis’ and instructing local schools to let girls wear them. Teachers have even been given details of an online swimwear company that will deliver the two-piece burka-like outfits, which cover every bit of skin from the ankle to the neck and come with a head covering to conceal the hair. The burkini is recommended in a document from Ealing council’s Standing Advisory

Council on Religious Education, which says it wants to encourage success through diversity.”
