In my home state, driving is considered a privilege, not a right.

I imagine most others are like that. Your license can be revoked or not granted if you refuse to meet the requirements.

It's actually somewhere between the two. If it was truly a privilege, it could be revoked for any or no reason, and if it was an absolute right, it could not be revoked for any reason.

As it stands, you have a "right" to drive so long as you do so in compliance with the law, which applies equally to any and all. The DL issuing agency can't deny you that "right" on any basis other than failure to adhere to the law. They can't say "sorry, we don't like your kind, go away," for example.
