Should women be allowed to wear a Niqāb, or face veil, to civic ceremonies?

what kind of ceremony is it bro

No, America is a secular country and no one should be allowed to wear religious clothing outside of their place of worship or private residence.

Only if face coverings are acceptable for other attendees.

No and end all mask mandates.

Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by an appropriate staff member in civic ceremonies or meetings of large attendance. This should be the case for all face coverings regardless of culture, sex, or religion.

No, Islam is a hateful and divisive religion. All religion should be kept out of government, and people need to keep their sexist and homophobic fairy tales in their homes.

No. Wear a head scarf. The face must be visible.

yes, but there should be no resistance to revealing their identity, and their identity should be revealed

No because we should still be able to identify the person with the Niqab we cant.

Yes, so long as their identity can be verified quickly when necessary.

No, Islamic clothing (e.g. Hijabs, burqas, niqabs, Chadors, Taqiyah, and other Islamic clothing) (for men and women) should be permanently and irrevocably banned in predominantly and potentially predominantly Republican states, U.S. territories, counties and county-equivalents, Washington D.C., cities, towns, villages, Indian reservations, Census Designated Areas (CDP's) and other unincorporated areas and unincorporated communities, etc

Yes, but must be removed for driver license and for confirming identification at traffic stops. Female officer if they request.

I and unsure and do not find it to be a very important issue anyway

Yes, I believe the Niqab comes from misogynistic ideas but clothing items shouldn't be controlled

as long as it is who they say it is

Yes, but they should be managed by staff or government.

Yes, we must preserve religious freedom. With the current fear of Muslim attacks, virtually no attacker would wear clothes that easily identify them as Muslim anyway.

Yes, anyone should be able to wear whatever they want, as long as it doesn't conflict with a general uniform.

Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it

Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity

Yes, but anyone under the age of 18 should not be allowed to wear it, and anyone wearing it must verify their identity, also, apply this to all religious clothing, not just the Niqab

Yes if a religion says women should wear face coverings in public then it is discrimination to not allow them to

Yes, depending on the event, and as long as it is not deemed a threat to anyone

Yes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member of the same religion so they feel comfortable.

Allow the hijab but not the Niqab or Burqa.

Indifferent on this issue.

Leave this up to the individual to decide.

Not the Niqab but allow the Hijab.

i dont support something i dont even know what it means

Yes, but their face must pas through security checks.

Yes, but their face must pass through security checks.

Yes, but their face must go through security checks.

Yes, it is someone’s right to rebel or choose whether or not they abide by tradition

No, and I would prefer to ban all religious clothing in public

Yes, but their face must be visible and go through security checks.

Yes, but their face must be visible and must go through security checks

Yes, but their face must be visible and must go through security checks.

Yes. We are all wearing mask now.

Yes, we should respect all cultural traditions, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member, just in case.

No, this reinforces women as second class citizens
