Monica Added: I’d like to write more about this topic later, but I want to direct you toward a post I wrote for WT quite a while back on this exact issue, pre-Ray’s ad being nixed. It is also a brief post, but directs you toward an interesting site called Orthodox Anarchist which describes some of the issues involved with the scarf debate.
