Opinions please: Banning the Burka?

Although my opinion it discriminates, and might cause some teasing at school, I also see how a steady set of rules provides security to children; such as a set dinner time, set food allowance, set bed time, etc. So those children might also get teased at their spiritual centers if they do not wear the Burka. At a time when some children are overwhelmed with too many choices, should a parental standard ever be banned? What do you think?

    The purpose of modest dress in Islam is not conformity to culture but a person's own personal dignity. Dignity is a basic human right. No one should be forced or coerced to show any part of their flesh against their wishes.

    If you ask most Islamic women, they prefer to wear the Burka. It is most feminist, American women that are trying to ban this when they are really okay with how they are dressed. Let them dress how they please, no one tells you hoe to dress, it is women like you that make it seem bad to wear it or as if they do not want to, when if you ask most Islamic women they do and it just YOU that has a problem with it.
