dance of a thousand veils

Stop oppressing us with your flaming external organs and hidden hairs!

Dear Mrs Bishop,

I have read with great interest your comments on banning veils in Australia's schools. Do you also have plans to prevent Nun teachers from wearing the same headgear?

And what of young Catholic girls being forced to hide behind veils during their first communion? Including such rites in curriculum merely brainwashes these impressionable girls into wearing veils on other occassions, such as marriage.

Perhaps we should also ban images of women in such dangerous pieces of cloth. Attached is an image I believe is still common in many exclusive religious schools that can only serve to reinforce these superstitious ideas. Banning these images from school grounds could form the second tier of your well thought-out plan.

Once we have achieved this scarfless utopia, we might move on to other items of fashion crippling to the free women of Australia: high heels, shoulderpads and ridiculous hair buns.

Yours forever and ever and ever,

Leigh.

Omigod! This is just like in Nazi Germany!
