4 y/o girl asked to remove hoodie

Park security had a standing policy of no hoodies. Amazing how much of a threat that a four year old girl can pose.

I'm not surprised to find this is in England. England has had a thing about hoodies for a while now and it often gets really silly.

If that four-year old is reading quantum physics and looking like she understands, then maybe she's a threat. Otherwise, let her alone.

Oh, honestly. Both sides are completely silly.

Still. It's a rule the establishment has, and yes, they should have it posted. But saying you're being "victimized" (yes, I Americanized the spelling) is going a bit far.
