| Tóm tắt: | A Muslim girl seeks exemption from her school’s dress code policy so she
can wear a headscarf in accordance with her religious convictions. Newly
arrived immigrants invoke the use of cultural evidence in defense against
criminal charges. Over one hundred years after the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints renounced polygamy, Mormon fundamentalists
continue to practice it and argue for its decriminalization. Aboriginal
groups insist on the right of self-government, including the right to
determine their own membership rules. These claims are not simply
demands for the enforcement of anti-discrimination law; they are also
demands for positive accommodation of particular beliefs and identities.
In practice, democratic governments in the West already grant a variety of
accommodations to religious and cultural minorities, including exemptions
to generally applicable law, support for the pursuit of cultural
practices, and limited self-government rights. |
