I'd say that they're both the same end of the religious scale. If it's Christian vs Muslim, where to the eighty-teen other religions fit?.... certainly not in between, if they had a say.
It's more tolerance vs intolerance, I think. Any display of religious preference by the teacher might warp those precious young minds? Well that's silly if they grew up in a house with a tv.
That said, I do agree the veil presents a special problem with communication between a teacher and young children.

allowed to wear a veil in class when teaching children and a male is present.

Does that include a male child in the class?
