No problem ...so long as each can wear according to their own beliefs, including atheist. Don't really think its going to go over well.

Yes it is strange which is why I am only giving people a taste . Howevere the style/format on Kialo is good in principle. You should look at both pros and cons together to prepare your mind for a decision. I am sure you look at more than one election candidate. Well done for trying . just keep going!!
It looks interesting but difficult to navigate.

True , which is why I tried to soften the blow. Other Debate style forums exist
This my own[mcflewster's] comment below starting " Teachers are meant ... " which when typing finshed brought up the Possible Dupicate answers below of other posters to avoid confusion of duplication. A judgement is made as to whether it does duplicate and the clearest is added to the list of opposing copies which are presented opposite opposing opinions.
"Teachers are meant to be impartial. Otherwise they become a preacher. In a sense every teacher is a science teacher helping young minds to stay on the ' life useful ' path and avoid over-specialization on any narrow topic. They are after the truth in any lesson and must let the child make up their own minds as to whether what they say is true, through trust. Most religionists have made up their minds that theirs is the truth so that teacher is not liable to spend equal amount of time on both sides with the pupil on a topic the child queries."

I know all outward expressions of religiosity was banned in France some years ago. I don’t know if it still stands.
Possible duplicate claims These are provided by the website and they are other people's attempts . The website has to resolve which is best if there is a clash.
They can choose at any time throughout their life.
The influence of the teacher outside the child’s school life is not wrong
The principle of free expression should not apply to teachers because what teachers say can have lasting effects on children.
The teacher does influence the decision of the child
There is no basis to say that children have this right.
Whether or not the teachers symbol supports or opposes what the child is taught at home should not lead to restricting the rights to jewelry,headgear or other religious token.
What the teacher actually says and teaches will have far more influence on the child than what the teacher wears. Therefore, ensuring the subject matter is taught is neutral is far more important than restricting teachers rights to. wear the jewelry they desire.
Teachers should keep it unobtrusive and, if it comes up in conversation, the teacher should say there are many religions in the world and this symbol represents his or hears
The power imbalance between the pupil and the teacher means that we should err on the side of guarding the benefits to the child,rather than the teacher.
Children will know what the belief system of their teachers are - even if the teacher does not explain it.
