| Message | So what if a Jew wears a yamacha (sp?) in court? Or if a Muslim woman wears a burka in a library? Just because someone wears religious regalia does not mean that they will not serve their secular government functions. This is discrimination, plain and simple. What's with all the sudden attacks against religion? The CSP will fight tooth and nail for the rights of religious expression, whether that be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or other. |

| Message | "yamacha (sp?)" - OED gives it as yarmulke; I use kippa We disagree with this bill for the reasons the CSP has outlined (at least the first paragraph). |
