 Barry asserts that “there are certain rights against oppression, exploitation, and injury, to which every single human being is entitled to lay claim, and … appeals to cultural diversity and pluralism under no circumstances trump the value of basic liberal rights” (2001: 132–33). The legal system should protect those rights by impartially imposing the same rules on all persons, regardless of their cultural or religious membership. Barry allows for a few exceptions, such as the accommodation of a Sikh boy whose turban violated school dress regulations, but thinks that the conditions under which such exceptions will be justified “are rarely satisfied” (2001: 62).
