Being religious, California-style

a. Ever heard of this one?

So, some ECHR judge walks into a classroom and meets the teacher. She has a PhD in Science. But she wears a headscarf. Sad, but true.

This is no joke though. If she were a teacher in some european countries, say Switzerland, she would have been ordered prohibited to do so. The authorities would have insisted on the secular character of the state. On the strict separation between public space and private convictions. On the need to preserve religious harmony. On the possibly proselytising effect of her wearing the headscarf. On the freedom of conscience and religion of very young children.

What a bunch of No. 2. I say, wear and let wear!
