A ban on adults-only hotels and resorts? I couldn't agree more
Imagine, for a second, there was a hotel that only allowed white people to stay as guests. Anyone of a different race could book somewhere else, but they weren't staying at this hotel. Whites only.
Or imagine there was a hotel that didn't, for example, allow Muslim guests. Imagine it advertised this fact on its website. It said to the world: followers of the Muslim faith are not allowed to stay at our hotel. Everyone else is welcome.
Pretty wild, huh? These are things that used to take place in the last century, though these days would be treated as blatant and appalling cases of discrimination, and rightly so.
You can't shut out potential guests because of their race, or their religion. It's horrendous, inhumane. You can't turn people away because of who they are.
Though… can't you? Because there are hotels and resorts that do something similar right now, around the world. Including in Australia. These are properties that ban a large section of society from staying with them just because of who they are, the way they were born. They advertise it openly: you can stay somewhere else, but you can't stay here.
Those people, of course, are children. Kids.
It's OK to say you don't accept children. This is an 'adults-only' resort, they say. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of an adults-only travel experience.
It's right there on the websites. It's in the brochures. It's clear discrimination against a certain section of society and it's fine.
That is, possibly, until now.

Kerala open to revising new school timings after Samastha flags impact on 12 lakh madrassa students
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Left government in Kerala on Wednesday said it is open to discussion if any group faces difficulties following the announcement of new school timings for high schools in the state. The move comes after Muslim scholar and president of Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, Jifri Muthukoya Thangal, expressed concern that the revised schedule would affect madrassa education for around 12 lakh students. Thangal raised the issue at a function attended by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan . Samastha Kerala Jamiyyatthul ul-Ulama, known as Samastha, is an association of eminent Sunni scholars who enjoy the highest support base among Kerala Muslims. General Education Minister V Sivankutty, responding to the concerns, said the government is ready to listen and consider changes if needed. The revised timings, announced earlier in the day, extend the school day by 15 minutes in both the morning and evening sessions, except on Fridays. Under the new schedule, high school classes will run from 9.15 am to 4.15 pm. Talking to a news channel, Sivankutty said the government is under no compulsion on this matter. He said this was not framed by the Education Department on the basis of a government decision, but follows a court directive and a commission's decision. "Still, if any section faces difficulties due to the new timings, the government will hold discussions with them and put in place a system that does not cause difficulties to anyone," Sivankutty said.

Meet Shoaib Akhtar's gorgeous wife, 18 years younger, her name is..., first met during...
Shoaib Akhtar has been without any doubts one of the most successful bowlers ever to play the game of cricket. Although he was known all over the world as an incredibly fast runner, he had an exclusive mix of self-esteem and talent. Shoaib Akhtar was in a league of his own during the peak of his career in world cricket. He has bowled the fastest at 161.3 km/h (100.23 mph) in the match between Pakistan and England in the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup. Akhtar, called the Rawalpindi Express, is the fastest bowler in the history of the game. Rubab Khan is the wife of Shoaib Akhtar; she was born in a conservative Muslim family of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. She ended her studies in Abbottabad, and this is how she got married to the cricket icon. In 2013, Shoaib Akhtar attended Hajj where he met the father of Rubab, Mushtaq. The search of a perfect life partner by Shoaib led to the initiation of their union. Both the families agreed and on June 23, 2014, the two married in a modest ceremony in Mohalla Ramzani, Pakistan. The age gap, as Rubab Khan was 21 years old, and Shoaib Akhtar was 38 years old, did not stop the couple as they chose to have a private wedding that received enormous media and public attention. The wedding was an intimate, intimate ceremony, with only a few close people. These days Rubab Khan is concentrated on house management, dedicating all of her time to the family. She has always been there to cheer him up as well as to face the good and bad moments of his life together. On November 7, 2016, Rubab Khan became a mother to a son named Muhammad Mikaeel Ali, which made their bond with Shoaib even stronger. Star pacer Shoaib Akhtar became a father at the age of 41.
