German state authorities have agreed for the first time to ban women teachers from wearing a Muslim headscarf in school, although Christian and Jewish attire will be allowed.
..."The aim of the law is to forbid state teachers from wearing symbols which could be regarded as political," said state premier Erwin Teufel, a member of the CDU.
Regional Culture Minister Annette Schavan added the headscarf is "seen as a symbol of cultural division and part of a history of oppression of women." article
It will be interesting to see if the Jewish population objects to this law. And they damned well should be screaming about it.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
