Muslim ‘religious’ law locks Toronto dad out of 9-year-old daughter’s swim class

A single father who lives in the Toronto area said he knew his 9-year-old daughter’s swim class was girls-only — but he didn’t know that meant he couldn’t watch.

But for “religious reasons,” the Toronto Sun reported, the father can’t attend.

“I spoke to a staff member and she told me that it’s because of Muslim women, that we’re not allowed to look at them or whatever,” the 38-year-old father, who declined to give his full name, said in the report. “I don’t think religion has a role to play in a public pool.”
