France has now come one step closer to banning religious headwear, this includes Hijabs, Kippas, but not Turbans. Germany as stated that it is now looking into similar measures. What do you think?

I completely agree with you, especially considering that these laws do not in anyway prevent those going to private schools from dressing how they like.

I read about this a while back. I understood that it was just in public, government run schools - a matter of dress code where no overt religious symbols of any type, not just headgear, would be against the rules. I think it is acceptable in that context and no different really than uniform requirements. Private schools would not be subject to the ban.
