For example, in some towns, it's common for public libraries to have a dress code to maintain a certain level of decorum. This is done to ensure that the environment remains conducive to learning and is comfortable for the majority of users. While I'm not denying the importance of free speech and equal rights, there needs to be a balance between individual rights and community values.

This is the United States, not the United Arab Emirates. Dress Codes are limited, and civil liberties have no reason to be denied based on a person's characteristics. Tradition is okay, unless it harms people.

You make an interesting point about the limitation of dress codes and the protection of civil liberties in the United States. However, it's worth noting that even in the U.S., the interpretation of civil liberties can vary greatly. For example, in schools across the country, dress codes are quite common and enforced to maintain what is considered a conducive learning environment. These dress codes, while seen by some as reasonable, are viewed by others as an infringement on their rights to self-expression. It's a complex issue with no one-size-fits-all solution. Balancing individual rights with collective comfort can be challenging. How do you propose we navigate this delicate balance?
