Good

I guess I'm not a civil libertarian because I'm happy Egypt's top Islamic School banned the veil.

He banned it classrooms and dorms...obviously the reach of the ban cannot extend beyond the school.

I hate the veil. The similarity it bears to Ku Klux Klan uniforms is not a coincidence. It is a sign of repression and hate.

That said, I don't suppose you can ban it completely. But to the extent certain private places discourage it, ban it, or limit it (you can't wear a KKK uniform to work), I'm all in favor.
