I’d agree with you entirely except on one issue. The women who want to wear their hijabs on their Driver’s License. Since those pictures are used for identification purposes, I’d say they have to take ‘em off. Sorry.
Other than that, anyone trying to ban anything people wear are just idiots, particularly when legislating religious clothing, something that any normal-thinking free society should be against.
If we’re gonna get all pissy and outraged that US women have to take their crosses off in Saudi Arabia, then we shouldn’t be imposing similar restrictions on others (we being the collective Western “we”)
