Sikh denied school enrolment |
A five-year-old Sikh boy has been denied school enrolment in Australia for wearing turban as it does not align with its uniform policy, despite a landmark ruling in 2008 against a private institution on the issue. Sagardeep Singh Arora said that his son has been forced to abandon his religious practices and identity to access to an education in Melbourne`s Melton Christian College (MCC). They have lodged a claim with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission (VEOHRC). Students should be able to wear their significant religious symbols and articles of faith. It`s immoral for a school to not allow students to practice their beliefs.
