Are headscarves for men going to be banned?

I’m really curious to see what ends up getting caught in these laws.

Like Sikh turbans and Emerati ghutra? Yeah, I wonder too.

I assumed those were going to be banned in religious grounds too.

No, I just mean just a bearded hipster dude with a piece of cloth on his head looking all groovy and shit.

Are bandanas a trend again? Not really professional attire tbh but gen z is full of surprises.

“In the workplace” is the thin end of the wedge. Wait for “in government buildings” and “near schools”, before an actual honest to God ban.

Orthodox Jews banned from public workplaces is not a good look tbqhwy.

But they're not banned, religious clothing is

These bans are making someone choose between their religious convictions and employment.

Give me all your money or I kill you. It's not a ban on your finances, coercion, extortion or whatever bad words exist. You can just choose not to live. It's a choice, your choice : )

Its not a real choice. It is meant to reduce the number of people of certain religious affiliations from public workplaces aka ban them.

Consider if the "choice" given women was between presenting male and giving up their jobs. Or not to be considered for a job. It would in effect ban women because they would either have to give up their gender identity at least for the duration of the work or not work there.

Likewise here it would be allowed to make the denunciation of ones religious convictions a job requirement. It's atrocious.
