I think you underestimate the influence of religious symbols. It's not just any type of clothing. It's a tool for religious communities that has considerable impact, especially when your parents make you wear it, it has beliefs attached to it and is easily visible to everyone around you.
I mean parents so have a lot of freedom to raise their children as they see fit. And I think that is a good thing. I would not do a lot of things that other people do, but it's totally in the rights of people to raise their children religiously, and that can include wearing certain kinds of clothes.
Well, that's were we disagree. I don't think parents should be free to raise their child however they want to. And it's also not in their rights in every country.
