>>Assuming the religion you mention above, here's my guess as to how it would be handled in Canada... we would build them a school, or give them special wings in schools, to let them practise as they need. And I think it would be done fast, by re-locating kids already in existing schools in the interim. The parents, though, would have to learn to wear cloths or go elsewhere

>So, hypothetically, you would keep building schools and add special wings to buildings to satisfy all who want special treatment. Man that's tough. I hope you can bear the cost.

As you note, it's hypothetical, Sam. We don't build schools for Jehova's Witnesses just because they don't salute the flag. We don't build special schools for Sikhs who wear knives to school. But nakedness is a touchy subject and would need something different. Remember, he said Canada had agreed to accept thousands, including their children.
