The Price of Reasonable Accommodation?
At the Western Standard’s blog, Ezra Levant is taking heat from some for discussing the media’s disgusting (but hardly surprising) failure to ask necessary questions about the driver in the recent Calgary bus crash.
To wit: that the bus driver’s vision may have been obscured by a Hijab or other head scarf which, given the mysterious causes of the accident, might well be particularly relevant.
Unsurprisingly, Bigcitylib is accusing Ezra of racism and making wild allegations. Well, let’s judge for ourselves.
Here is a pair of screen-grabs of footage of the scene:
Naturally, the mavens of political correctness will seek to push this issue to the sidelines and to ignore it altogether because it raises questions which make them uncomfortable. Does any reasonable person really think that wearing a face-obscuring garment and driving a bus full of children are compatible? This is a question which we uniquely must deal with, insofar as I somehow doubt that the Saudis and others have to worry too much about Hijab or Niqab-wearing women driving buses or, well, pretty much anything at all.
I’m curious to see how anyone can defend someone driving a school bus (or any vehicle for that matter) is compatible with wearing something – anything – which obscures their vision in such a manner.

You've never heard of hats? I hear that sometimes even Christians wear them. Sometimes while they're driving! Clearly, we can't let any of those damnable hat-wearing Christians anywhere near the driver's seat of a school bus.
