Some people have recently been arguing for a general ban on the wearing of hijabs or burkas, on the grounds that they cover the wearer's face and this was unacceptable in western society.
(NOTE - I am talking about calls I have seen for a general ban here. Banning them from the classroom is a more specific issue, and I'm not talking about that here! I am also NOT talking about whether these items should be worn in a security-conscious location.)
Below are some examples of items of clothing that cover the face.
Do you think that any or all of these should be banned? If so, why? If you think one should be banned and not the others, why?
