France shouldn't ban burqas

One of the slogans of the Ministry of Truth in the novel "1984" was "Freedom is Slavery." George Orwell, meet Nicholas Sarkozy. The French president has led a successful effort to get his parliament to outlaw burqas and other garments that cover the entire body, including the face. Why? Because the burqa is "a sign of enslavement." He claims to be expanding freedom by taking away the right to dress as one chooses. Steve Chapman writes in Chicago Tribune.
