In a generation of unadulterated acceptance sweeping our nation, one can’t help but wonder where we begin to re-draw the line between acceptance and condemnation. Lately, I’ve seen an outpouring of support and backlash from the terror attacks in Belgium and Paris for the hijab and burqa, much of it coming from young women. Some of this response may be warranted. Who is any government to ban a religious artifact of clothing? In our country, this action would certainly last no longer than lower court of appeals, let alone the supreme court, due to the 1st amendment.
