One day i hope assimilation to host culture wont be a dirty word used by SJW, but a sign of respect and willingness to be part of a nation.

If you folks talk about the need for the immigrants to assimilate, then perhaps you need to assimilate yourselves first. Since you don't seem to be aware of the values on which Western society is built. Some of which are freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of individuality.
Once people stop picking up on each other for ridiculous reasons, such as dress or religious views, perhaps we finally can get along with each other.
THIS girl IS prohibited from attending her school as long as she doesnt dress into something other than niquab during lessons. Ok, call it "school order, backed by court" or else, feel free.
For info: European Court already ruled a burka ban is very well within jurisdiction of a country, so please stop from arguing. You may not like the judgement, but it's the law of EU, which forms the parts of Europe far and wide into the east up to russia and turkey.
I don't really see the big deal about wearing one so long as you comply with law enforcement if they need to see your face for some reason. I don't need to be able to see someones face 100% of the time. But if this is the schools rule then you comply or find a different school, it's that simple. I hated wearing a stupid uniform in middle school but I had to comply.
Frankly none of those values are being violated. She is allowed to be muslim or any other religion she may want to be a part of, she can express herself freely as well. But the school simply wants to confirm her identity while she is in school. I highly doubt the school is doing it to "pick" on her, but simply for security reasons.
Personally I think it's about time to ban burkas/niqab's in Germany. It is a ridiculous notion that people from other countries come here, be it immigration for financial reason or fleeing from war, that they force their customs to be accepted. If I go to Dubai my girlfriend does not run around in hotpants either but respects their customs and dresses appropriately. I think that is a more than fair expectation, we are only guests in Dubai at that point. But that street goes both ways, at least it should.
apparently... Nowhere in the Quran does it mention, a niqab or burka. It's a cultural thing, not a religious thing.
Think this is a decent compromise. They could be calling to ban all Muslims like some do. Once that's on the table, I think banning an article of clothing that covers your face doesn't seem all that bad.
Migration and integration are not one way streets. If you want others to accept your culture into their live, you also need to be willing to accept part of their culture into your live. Just a small mind experiment, what would you be willing to sacrifice of your lifestyle if you were to migrate into an arabic to adapt to the local customs there? An equally large sacrifice should be well in line to what immigrants into western society have to make.
I think if she showed up for the court appointment the outcome would have been different.
