1.Universities are grounds where all types of personal freedoms (religious, political, sexual, whatever) should be freely practiced.
2. Universities are grounds where all types of personal freedoms (religious, political, sexual, whatever) should be freely discussed.
3. Both statements above are correct.

Which is correct?....Anyone with comments?

Definitely 2. Besides the fact that I think that those freedoms should be discussed freely on ANY ground..

I totally disagree with 1 and number 3 therefore doesnt make sense anymore either

In relation with the recent "Turban in University" crisis in Turkia, the Academic Council of Middle East Technical University declared a meaningful statement today, supporting Point (2) above.

Yes. Im happy that people who go to university now can wear their headscarf. I dont know whether on ilk okul children can wear it, but I think that in primary classes such signs of religion should be forbidden. The status of Islam in turkey these days is highly disputable and to be taken care of, and I dont think that children aged 4 till, lets say 8, have any idea what religion really is all about.

Nonetheless, its a good thing its no longer prohibited at university.

are you saying that a girl at 8 should be allowed to wear headscarf?

No. I am saying that headscarves should be allowed at university and forbidden in primary education.

How is that inconsistent? I see a big difference between university and primary school. I think that that religion can and must be discussed with children on primary schools, but they should not be allowed to wear it yet: they have no idea what it means and probably do it because their moms do it. Would they do it if later they realized their mothers wore it for the wrong reasons? No. And they will put it on later themselves if they think their parents reasons for this are right.
