Fair but it's still more voluntary than stupid attempts by the government to tell people how to dress.
The solution is to cultivate an educated, tolerant culture. This rule is a step in the opposite direction.
How we dress or adorn ourselves is a fundamental part of human freedom of expression and I think it needs to be taken way more seriously than it typically is in most societies.
I agree, but control freaks will do whatever it takes to have their way, and so will manipulate people in any way possible to reach that end - including preventing that open-minded culture from taking root. Just look at Murdock's manipulation of the masses via his media empire for a blatant example.
