Yes, Alexa and Merry Can, there are competing/conflicting rules and rights here. It will take a higher court to sort out whose claim is paramount. In this case, I am hoping for a victory for Ms Valentine. I don't believe a headscarf is a security issue (removing one's headgear may be more of an older courtroom law that's still on the books) and I truly wonder if the security guard wasn't expressing his own personal bias. Let us imagine if a nun were to testify in court, would she be asked to remove her veil? But I'm glad I'm part of a society that has a fair way to ultimately resolve these issues.
