Germany: Ban Sought on Islamic Headscarves in Kindergarten
A report from IRNA says that in Germany's southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, a ban is being demanded for teachers who wear the hijab, or headscarf, in kindergarten schools.
A petition for a legal draft was submitted to the Baden-Wuerttenberg Education Ministry by the CDU/FDP state government coalition. A finalised rendering of the legal draft could still be expected before the end of this year.
The proposed legislation ensues from an incident in the south German town of Ebersach, where a female Muslim teacher refused to remove her hijab at a publuc nursery school, and was dismissed.
Five German states - Bayern, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Lower-Saxony, Saarland and Hesse - have adopted anti-headscarf laws as a consequence of a Supreme Court ruling which allows federal states to bar Muslim public employees with headscarves, provided they have the necessary legislation on the books.Out of Germany's population of 82 million people, 3.5 million are Muslims, mostly from Turkish backgrounds.
