Well, in the almost entirely Muslim nation of Turkey, the hijab was banned by law until very recently. So I suppose that a measure response in Turkey would have been to arrest the woman and perhaps forcibly take the thing off of her head.
I'm not suggesting that the USA should do the same. I just find it interesting that many Muslim countries also see the hijab as a vestige of barbarism and that it makes their country seem backwards.
I'm not interested in statist edicts. Collectivism isn't my thing.
I'm asking that poster what his measured response to him seeing a woman in a hijab would be.
Who cares, I saw a guy with a stupid haircut today, I thought that too looked silly, but we shouldn't be telling others what they should or shouldn't wear.
Actually there isn't a dress code in the US and you can actually go naked, you just can't be aroused naked or in some places you can't expose your genitalia.
Actually there is a dress code in the United States of America you cannot go around topless and you cannot expose your genitalia. Go out tomorrow where you live an attempt to walk around completely nude and see what happens to you sirens and police officers.

No, there is no national dress code, or even national laws preventing nudity. You are wrong about that. That might be the law in your municipality, but it's not a national law. Go to Portland, OR sometime. Or NYC for that matter.
It's also a common practice in the countries that they came from to choose to wear this clothing, with no coercing involved. So where do we go from here?
Stay out of their business unless they break the law.

There is no federal law against Nudity but there are local laws in every locality here in the USA that will never allow a man and woman to be nude in front of children that are not their own children.

Yes and no, in your state this law depends on different variables.
What's next? Are you going to discourage the Amish, Christians who have been in the United States for over 250 years, from wearing their traditional head coverings?

A national dress code does not have to be a federal law. It can just be a custom widely accepted and assumed in this country.
It's like a strong social norm.

We all know that answer to that. We live in a land where religious freedom is protected. If a woman wants to wear hijab, or if I want to wear a shirt that says "Jesus Saves!" in huge letters, or if a high school kid routinely prays loudly in the middle of the hallway between classes -- it's all protected under law.
