If they outlaw burqas, they can face lawsuits over religious freedom.
So?
New York's MO is "screw over people now and settle out of court in 10yr if you think the precedent isn't gonna go your way."
A lawsuit or twenty won't stop them. It's not their money.
Perhaps so but there’s no legal protection when wearing such clothing for non-religious reasons, as would clearly be the case here.
What do you mean by non-religious reason? What about non-Christian holidays that are school days? Is that non-religious?
Has this been decided in jurisprudence?
Not everyone uses burqas, and trying to argue for religious freedom when you're using headwear in bad faith is not a particularly good idea.
