Description[?]:
| After reviewing interesting ideas of other nations, HPP wanna create a dress code concerning employees in the state and for them who have a public function. They should no longer have the right to wear religous clothing. They represent the state and sould be totally neutral while doing their duty. As political independence is creved, as should religious independence. In all other cases, the choosing of clothes is completely voluntary, respecting other laws on this matter. |

| Message | I am a little confused; why the need for this law? Just because someone is wearing an article of their faith does not mean that they are incapable of abiding by secular functions. Should a Jewish couple have to remove their yamakas to register for their marriage after they just had an Orthodox wedding? Ridiculous. |

| Message | "Should a Jewish couple have to remove their yamakas to register for their marriage after they just had an Orthodox wedding?" - No, because they have just been married and are registering their wedding, they are not performing any public duties for the State. |

| Message | We are totally against this bill, because we see absolutely no point in enforcing this law and wasting police budget, time, and wrapping everything in red tape. We agree with the CSP. |
