<p>Glad stuff like this doesn't happen here.</p>
<p>Stuff like what? Attempts to ban certain religious practices?</p>
<p>^^Yeah, basically. I originally thought that the university mandated that women wear the niqab, but they actually wanted to prohibit its wearing, and I suppose I disagree with that as well.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. I asked for clarification because I imagine people have mixed reactions to this story.</p>
<p>I believe that tn the US there have been kerfuffles about whether or not some states will issue drivers licenses to women who want their photos taken in a veil, but that may not rise to the same level as denying someone an education.</p>
