I oppose changing the rule to allow a "religious symbol" to be worn. Let's go Brandon |

Its much ado about nothing There used to be a rule that Women had to wear dresses on the senate floor Barbara Mikulski put a stop to that BS Its important in a peaceful society to accommodate religious people as long as it does not infringe on other peoples rights. I am an atheist. I am ok with Jews covering their head. Ok with Muslim scarfs. Wearing a headscarf is not infringing on anyone's rights Insisting that atheists dont get abortions because it is against somebody's else's religion is infringing on the peoples rights Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I would very surprised if yamakas were prohibited on the Senate floor. Assuming those are allowed, I think any religious head covering should be allowed, including a strainer as a show of faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Yarmulkes (kippas) are currently not allowed to be worn in the chamber of the House of Representatives. The Senate does not have the same rules about the wearing of hats/head coverings. Let's go Brandon |
