Modest driving for women.

A 'good school' most certainly does not teach children than women are inferior and have fewer rights than anyone else. It's utterly disgusting that 'schools' like this exist in our supposedly modern, progressive society.

[geared]

Why are benefits being dished out to these people if they are choosing to not work??

 

Anyone else who chooses to study instead of work doesn't get much in the way of benefits, a discount on council tax is most other people can get.

Religion always seems to get a free pass when it comes to discrimination. I think it was the same orthodox sect that recently placed signs on streets telling women which side they could walk on. In Israel and the US they've been telling women to sit at the back of buses too. And recently they've been disrupting flights by refusing to sit next to women on planes.

 

Crazy world ain't it.

Under the current system in the UK they'd soon be unable to claim anything after being sanctioned.

Unless cutting their benefits is deemed unlawful.

 

Orthodox Jews not only cannot work on the Sabbath, Friday afternoon or Saturdays because of religious observance, are prohibited from driving, writing, carrying or using electricity, amongst other things.

 

This seriously restricts their ability to work and more often than not means they remain unemployed.

 

A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said no jobseeker should "compromise their religious practices in order to claim JSA”,

 

 

I have no problem with their chosen lifestyle or beliefs, but I don't see why everyone else should be expected to fund it.

[geared]

So if my 'religion' required me to not work on any day of the week, and spend all the time dossing around in front of the telly - thats ok with the job centre??

 

How do I start my own religion?

In the one case it wasn't OK with the staff at the job center so they imposed sanction, but it was later overturned by the courts and they had to pay back all the benefits that had been taken away.

However this doesn't prevent them from employing Christians that can do these things for them.

A school mate made a few bob doing this.

Agreed. If they aren't actively seeking and available for work then they shouldn't get JSA. I don't really care what reason they give for not being able to work unless it's one that's unavoidable (like being disabled).

They like to airbrush women out of official pictures too, so they can pretend women in power are actually back home in the kitchen where they think they belong

 

Religious schools like this one should be done away with altogether. Employers are expected to adhere to equal ops laws and yet schools can apparently get away with teaching the exact opposite to impressionable children! It makes me absolutely sick.
