Judge Rules Muslims Now Allowed To Swim In Burkinis According to recent reports, a court in Germany just made the controversial ruling that a female Muslim student should be required to participate in mixed-sex swimming lessons. BBC recently reported that the girls parents had insisted that she sit out due to the Islamic principles of modesty. The judge did rule that the student could participate in the classes while wearing an all-over swimming garment, sometimes called a burkini. The judge noted that some girls already wear the garment. Still, some Muslims are pushing back on the ruling, claiming that it is unacceptable for Muslim girls to be near boys wearing swimming trunks only. Now, the lawyer for the girls family is claiming that there is already segregation of gym lessons in some Catholic areas. What do you think of the parents requests? Should the girl be required to participate in swimming lessons?
