“Muslim women in France are disobeying the rules at a local swimming pool by wearing burkinis.
In a protest inspired by US civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, they bathed in suits covering their entire bodies - apart from the face, hands and feet - in the city of Grenoble on Sunday.”
Well, I’m not exactly sure comparing the protest to Rosa Parks is correct... and on one hand, good for you girls! Stand up for what you believe in...
But, this issue tears me in two.
For, let’s be honest, the burkini is a bloody stupid piece of clothing.
It’s religious attire gone mad. Yeah! 30 degrees heat... let’s get in the pool... fully clothed.
Long sleeves and long legged gear in a pool is lunacy. Never mind that stupid FFing head thing. Sunbathing must be a hoot.
On a side note... the BBC articles ends with a paragraph: “Who was Rosa Parks.”
Good grief.
