Reply #12: that won't work [View All]

Not everyone knows what religious clothing looks like. I can spot certain types of fundamentalist Christian women from a block of the way, because of how they dress. Who doesn't know a Mormon "elder" when they see one? And yet, in the cases of the fundamentalist women who are wearing long hair and long skirts (religiously mandated look: dowdy) or much polyester and hairspray (religiously mandated look: cookie-cutter) or the young men in white short sleeves (religiously mandated look: door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman) or suits with bow ties (religiously mandated look: in-store vacuum cleaner salesman), they always meet the dress codes imposed in schools. If they get to wear their religious gear, then everyone else does also.
