Is this not more about religious privilege than anything else? Is the problem not that they want to reserve headgear for one religion? https://twitter.com/LibyaLiberty/status/835932719280422915 …

I realise this might be intended to make it a bit harder for Muslims - inconvenience of getting a note - but impossible for everyone else.

Presumably, they also make exemptions for people wanting to wear other religious headgear.

I'm not being clear. Ppl are telling me that its easy to tell religious headgear from non-religous. I'm questioning why former is privileged

The reason is practical. People tend to put up more of a fight when the sensibilities offended are religious ones.

But they seem to be arguing ethically & bringing up constitution as tho constitution synonymous with ethics.

Hence the need to point out the difference. Pragmatism demands adapting to (or better—changing) laws to achieve ethical results.
