2 The Covering

I see that Muslim school girls won't be able to wear the veil to school in France. No Amish or Mennonites to harass in France? Their covering means the same thing--submission to male leadership. What about nuns or other religious orders? Or Pentecostals who won't cut their hair and consider it a covering? What if they teach in a French school?

I think the French didn't like the fashion statement the Muslim women were making. I'm sure France will be much safer from terrorism and rowdyism with these school girls under control and out of the veil. Are North African Muslim immigrants living in France allowed to vote?

Is it OK for the Statue of Liberty, our French import, to keep her head covered with that crown? It is a symbol. It could be divisive.
