FWIW, I agree with, and understand your indignation and anger.
What’s really surprising to me, is that so many on this thread don’t seem to grasp the wrongness of the double standard which your daughter was subjected to, or they seem to feel that yours (and ours) is a “lost cause”.
I thought that Free Republic supported those who are willing to fight back against the dark forces that are undermining our nation and our way of life.
Mom, you were right to resist that small act of tyranny. It’s these small encroachments, multiplied across the hundreds of millions of our citizens that are steadily eroding the very foundations of our culture and our cohesion as a nation.
Each and every small and cowardly submission to these despicable acts emboldens those who would steal our birthright and dismantle our country.
Your small act of rebellion may not have been effective, but that’s not what matters. What matters is that you had the courage to fight back, and did.
I salute you.
Thank you!. I am still toying with the idea of filing a complaint with the state attorney general. If we do not stand up, we will be run over by lying down. This is not an issue I have with muslims - they can cover anything they want. But the rules for a state ID photo should be the same no matter what race or religion one belongs to. I don’t care if the rule is you can wear a scarf or not wear one, as long as it is equally enforced.
