Bill: Religous dress code (come on:-))
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2255
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. |

Old value:: There are no laws regulating the wearing of religious clothing and the wearing of religious symbols.
Current: There are no laws regulating the wearing of religious clothing and the wearing of religious symbols.

| Message | We would agree with this ONLY in the case that the public official in question is dealing with a culturally sensitive matter (e.g. a judge with a Star of David around his neck giving rulings against anti-semitic groups). However, faith amongst most adherents extends well beyond any civic duty; it is the way in which they invision the relationship between the human and the divine. To deny them this is rude at best, intolerant and oppressive at the most. We would be in full favor of a resolution that barred adherents of a certain faith from serving in certain functions that would bring an ideological clash outside of appropriate civics (e.g. the aforementioned example or one similar), but to outright ban one's faith while serving a public office would be a complete fallacy, as no one- be he or she Christian, atheist, Islamic, Jewish, or otherwise- can so completely remove themselves of their fundamental beliefs. |

| Message | Is that your claim you must also realise that no administrative personel either can completely remove themselves of their fundamental beliefs when regarding politics even though our laws require this. Should we then also change that law?? |

| Message | "Should we then also change that law??" Don't be silly. That's just to ensure that government jobs aren't doled out along party lines. |
