France had the gall to deport a woman for wearing the full veil covering recently.
this of course follows their notorious secular humanist ban on the hajib
http://www.inminds.co.uk/french-hijab-ban.html
they want no demonstrations of personal faith; militant atheism of course is fine

i hope America never follows this path

It was very uncomfortable for me to visit France this past winter because of just such things. Today the hijab; tomorrow the nun's habit and the bride's veil and the Jewish women's scarves, caps, hats, and wigs.
It's a woman's right to choose her own level of modesty. She should be free to choose when, where, how, how, why, to whom, under what circumstances, and how much or how little to expose.
I do understand that photo identification needs to be verifiable, but that can be done purely with the face -- not the hair/scalp, not the earlobes. Fingerprint or even footprint identification is much more reliable, and the technology already exists in most places that require identification as a matter of public protection, such as airports and establishments that sell firearms. If other body parts need to be seen, at least a woman should have the right to ask for a female to examine those parts of her, just as a man has the right to be examined by a man.

They should be allowed to wear whatever they choose. The haircovering isn't going to distrupt anything. The converation about the headcovering will though. A woman should be allowed to live by how she choosing. So what if it is against social norms? As long as you are not doing anything illgal, you are fine.
If the U.S becomes this way, then it is time to move. It reminds me how lucky I am that I live in this country, where hearcovering is accepted (my community likes everyone). Where that if you make one degrating comment to a religion, a whole class will snap at you (my sister's fifth grade class did this once).
I realize not everywhere in the U.S is this accepting (just go to the South), but my place is.

As a Southerner, I take exception to that 'aside' comment. I'm multiracial, Jewish, and observant. You want to know the FIRST time I ever encountered anyone who didn't respect my head covering? When I left the South and moved to the oh-so-liberal Northern states. And yet, I've had to train myself out of having a Southern accent, because whenever people hear it, they automatically assume that I am (1) under-educated, (2) unintelligent, (3) bigoted.
The South has its problems, but no more than anywhere else. I'm just about tired of hearing this anti-South stuff from everyone and everywhere.

To religions, they were fine. The racism just bothered me. I don't think anything of the southern accent. I know the sterotype, and it isn't true. In my option, some southern schools are better than the ones I get in Florida (way better...but that is another conversation). My family (minus me) picked it up and sometimes still talks in it.

I remember hearing that the government-funded schools in France wanted to forbid all students from wearing religious articlas, such as hijabs and crucifixes. That goes againt a basic right of freedom of religion, does it not? It's not like a hijab or crucifix is going to burn someone's eyes. burning_eyes

Ha, they think it would burn their eyes. That's why they should be exposed to these things, so they can realize that it doesn't. ^^
