i just want to ask if you really support this argument or not.

so, if a teacher decided that she was going to show up to class dressed like a burlesque dancer, or in a bikini, would you think that's appropriate for a classroom because nobody can tell a female teacher what to wear?

not only is a school a workplace, but you're also dealing with.....it's not even the young kids i'm worried about, as they don't care, it's more the teenagers. i think we can all agree that there has to be some concept of "appropriate attire" in the classroom, and that teachers really can't just wear whatever they want, when they're at work.

so, once you establish that some set of guidelines is indeed reasonable, the real question is whether a prohibition on religious attire is really appropriate under those guidelines.

there's another curve ball to throw out there, too - while a niqab is obviously religious, there's a blurry line where a scarf just becomes a scarf. it's not clear to me that your average hijab is even really a religious symbol, at all.

but, this "you can't tell me what to wear at work" line is bullshit. clearly, we can, and we do, and we must continue to.
