I already stated that I place on the far right on this issue.
You know, where the left hand is authority and the right hand is liberty?
Somehow, Harper's got you convinced it's the other way around.

The University of California-Irvine student government recently struck a blow against free speech “that can be interpreted as hate speech” when it voted to remove all flags, including the American flag, from its campus office. That decision was quickly vetoed by the student government president.
According to Campus Reform, the Associated Students of University of California-Irvine voted 6-4 (with two abstentions) to pass the measure sponsored by Social Ecology Representative Matthew Guevara. The text of the resolution can be found here. Some entertaining highlights:
“Whereas flags are typically viewed as patriotic symbols of a single nation, are often associated with government and military due to their history and have a wide variety of interpretations. …
Whereas flags construct paradigms of conformity and sets homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy. …
Whereas a common ideological understanding of the United states includes American exceptionalism and superiority. …
Whereas the American flag is commonly flown in government public service locations, military related entities, at homes, in foreign lands where the US government has a presence. ..
Whereas the American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism. …
Whereas designers should be careful about using cultural symbols as the symbols will inherently remain open for interpretation. ..
Whereas a high-quality culturally inclusive spaces is essential in any society that embodies a dynamic and multifaceted culture
Whereas freedom of speech is a valued right that ASUCI supports.
Whereas freedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible can be interpreted as hate speech.”
I’d like to add one: “Whereas the puerile, hypocritical, effete, nihilist, neo-Bolshevik, children at UC-Irvine think the principles on which America was founded are ‘evil’, they should transplant themselves to a country that best reflects their ideology”.
Needless to say, this resolution was pretty much tailor-made to infuriate regular people outside the socialist enclave of*UCI. Conservative-leaning sites, in particular, had a field day. Breitbart*reported the news thus:
“UC Irvine Student: US Flag Banned to Avoid ‘Triggering’ Hurt Feelings Among Illegals.”
A student who spoke with Breitbart News on condition of anonymity*that she heard a member of the ASUCI discussing “the [American] flag and how it triggered people.” She then said she believed a major line of reasoning behind*the legislation to remove the flag could have been a “precautionary step” to prevent a trigger situation where if someone is an “illegal citizen or [they] have citizenship issues, it makes them feel bad.
“But me and my friends were like, ‘Dude, you’re in America. It’s the American flag,’” she added.
The adoration for illegal aliens transcends the law, sovereignty, and love of country. At leftwingnut training grounds like UC-Irvine, it’s standard.

Wearing a biquab, et al is neither a religious requirement, nor a religious right.
Do you just make this sh*t up as you go along?
You can claim that you are wearing it for religious purposes at the ceremony.
Still isn't a 'right' nor is it an element stipulated by that religion.
An individual's personal preferences have no impact on 'rights' whatsoever
The charter allows one to validate religious beliefs on subjective grounds, so yes, all one has to say is that this is a religious garment and if they can show that nexus, they can qualify to wear that garment.
It is still not a right and still is not a mandatory component of Islam.
Justine has really stepped in it, and he would be wise to listen to his handlers and let this issue slowly and quietly go away.
The election is around the corner, JT better get his sh*t together and develop some actual policies that have relevance to the public.
