As much as I dislike the burqa, it is an infringement on religious freedom to ban it.

Whose freedom? Surely not the girls'! It's their parents' freedom to force their daughters to adhere to whatever they wish against their daughters' will. Maybe let the girls decide once they are adults?

Well, then we can apply that to a whole bunch of other things, and now we have crossed the line of the state parenting your children, which, in my opinion, goes too far.
