>>>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.

Well what other "solution" would there be when we invited them?
We would surely know their special needs before we did invite them. I suppose we could have invited them with a '...but your kids who need to go to school naked because of your religious beliefs cannot be honoured...', but that would amount to an "invite" where a 'thanks but no thanks' was expected. That is, not an invite at all, but rather an attempt to look concerned while wanting rejection.
