Britain is stepping up restrictions against the country’s Muslim population as part of a campaign to stop young citizens from joining terrorist groups.
The UK’s Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has said schools are entitled to ban Muslim girls from wearing face veils.
She noted that it’s important for children to be able to see their teacher's mouth. Morgan made the comment while launching an anti-radicalization website which she calls ‘The Educate Against Hate’.
The site warns parents against allowing their kids to spend excessive time online or on mobile phones. It also cautions about children with a susceptibility to conspiracy theories and a feeling of persecution.
Britain’s Muslim groups have criticized the British government for linking extremism to wearing veils.
They say London should find ways to prevent the youth from joining terrorists instead of focusing on minor issues.
