Kind Gesture towards Muslims in Germany
The Germany’s highest court has decided to lift the ban on headscarves for teachers, following an appeal made by two female Muslim teachers from Northrhine-Westfalia, Euronews reports. The ban was defined by 2003 verdict.
According to the new verdict the headscarf can only be banned if the peaceful situation at the school is in danger, for example, if parents are protesting against it.
The decision of the court is based on the fact that Christian symbols are still allowed by many regional school laws; the fact that makes ban on headscarves unfair towards the Muslims in Germany.
