13. I'm fine with banning full face veils in any position where you're interacting with the public

Especially child care. But I think it’s a small number religiously affiliated daycares and schools that hire people wearing something like that anyways.

The street prayers sound like a nuisance, but like any form of peaceful protest, if there’s a permit, I don’t see the problem.

I don’t care about headscarves or turbans. Neither should be disruptive in most situations, but I can see where a head covering could interfere with a safety helmet.

So many of these can be handled on a case by case basis, which is why I’m typically not in favor of such blanket bans, even if I’m generally sympathetic to the reasoning behind them and personally would prefer a more secular society.
