Are you my mother?

France is in the process of enacting legislation that would make it illegal to cover ones face. It is aimed at outlawing the burka ( As reported in the LA Times.) Don’t worry about Halloween, masks used for festival and holidays will still be legal. The burka and niqab have always been a troublesome issue for me. A woman’s face is a very important tool when parenting. A mother’s smile sends a positive message to a child and on the other hand a mother’s frown lets the child know she is displeased. Imagine a child coming home from school with a mother’s day card and all the child sees from his mom a face full of blue sheet.
And speaking of school, how does a kid know which mom to go home with at carpool time?
