There is a discrimination lawsuit going on right now in either New Jersey or Michigan (I can't remember which) wherein a woman is fighting her firing from her job as a corrections officer. The prison wouldn't give her a waiver to allow her to wear an Islamic veil covering much of her face, as I recall. There was also the case not long ago wherein a state declined to issue a driver's license to a woman who refused to remove her burka-like veil for her driver's I.D. photograph. In both of these and in similar cases, I believe "the state" does have some justification for such limitations.
