A Norwegian school is preventing a (non-Jewish) teacher from wearing a small Jewish star to class. The school argues that the star can be interpreted as a symbol of the State of Israel (the star is on the Israeli flag) and thus inflame the sensitivies of Muslim students. Via Joanne Jacobs.
UPDATE: Reader Mark Moss notes that the Norwegian flag has a cross within it, which could also inflame Muslim students as symbol of the crusades. One wonders if the flag is to be banned at school meetings, as well.
