Questão jurídica principal
Whether the pupil is entitled to a religious exemption from compulsory school swimming lessons
Decisão extraída
The refusal of a dispensation was lawful; the limited interference with religious freedom was justified by the public interest in compulsory integrated schooling and was proportionate.
Fundamentação extraída
Mandatory swimming lessons serve equality, social integration, and acceptance of Swiss social conditions. The school accommodated religious concerns by separating classes by sex, allowing separate changing/showering, and permitting a burkini. Any remaining burden on religious practice was minor and reasonable.
