It seems a Paris pool banned a woman for being completely clothed. Their reasoning was the burqini, swimwear often worn by Muslin women, is not not hygienic.


Your thoughts?

My thoughts? I don't think you want my thoughts in regards to this. I will say in a nutshell that it smacks of discrimination and ignorance of what is supposedly intelligent and open-minded society.

Would they let her in if she showered in her clothing? If she is willing to get wet in the pool, I'm sure she wouldn't mind showering in her "swimwear", as everyone else does.
