This is why there should only be rules that can be justified very convincingly. No covering ears in exams for example. For everyone.https://twitter.com/seeker8002/status/835983038421024769 …
I don't. I want anyone who wants to wear a headscarf to do so for any reason, not for it to be limited to religion &/or modesty.

Doesn't affect me what other people do with their hair so no grounds to ban. My daughter likes to wear them. Indian, ex-Hindu.
