The Veil

In English class, we've began Reading Lolita in Tehran, by Azar Nafisi. It follows lessons she taught to students in Tehran. Together, they read more controversial books in Nafisi's home, after she left the University due to her frustrations.

What I wanted to open up for discussion (inspired by this book) is whether the veil is good or bad?
If you weren't allowed to say "well, it should be allowed but not mandated" but actually forced to take an extreme, which would you choose?
If you put some time into your response, I'll respond back defending the opposite.

Good luck.
