9. But the crucifix is not on par with those headscarves and turbans...
They are NOT mere 'expressions' of their respective faiths,
they are REQUIREMENTS.

Their religious texts state (or at least strongly suggest)
that believers MUST wear them.

There is NO similar requirement for crucifix-wearing in
the Christian bible.

Her Sikh co-worker's turban is a religious obligation;
her crucifix is a personal statement.

The two are NOT the same.

Her inability/unwillingness to understand that fact makes
it no less true.
