She addresses fundamental questions of timeless urgency while keeping in concentrate their relevance to modern debates: Do some identification groups undermine the higher democratic good and so their own legitimacy in a democratic world? Whether or not so, how is a democracy to quite distinguish between groups including the KKK on the one palm and the NAACP on the other? Should democracies exempt participants of some minorities from certain genuine or widely accepted guidelines, such as Canads's allowing Sikh participants of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to wear turbans rather than Stetsons? Do voluntary groups like the Youngster Scouts have a right to discriminate on grounds of intimate preference, gender, or race?
