Thumbs up: Judge’s fashion statement for beaches

It’s hard for us to imagine any government passing a law requiring people to wear more clothing in winter. So why would there be a mandate at some resorts to wear less clothing in summer?

However, that is effectively what some resort areas in France were doing in prohibiting visitors from wearing a “burkini,” a head-covered swimsuit used by some Muslim women.

But that may have changed thanks to top administrative court in France that overturned the burkini ban on Friday for a Mediterranean beach community. The ruling effectively means that all 30 resort communities can no longer issue such bans. It’s safe to such bans may have created too much exposure - legally speaking.
