France backs school ban on Islamic veils PARIS (AP) ââ¬â The government and its main opposition joined Saturday in supporting school officials who expelled two sisters for refusing to remove traditional Islamic headscarves in class. Administrators at the girls' high school, in Aubervilliers outside Paris, said the headscarves were ostentatious symbols of religion.

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said "Our Muslim compatriots know and respect [the rules]. It must be done in a way that no one feels humiliated." Why the bloody bleep would someone feel humiliated because someone wears a headscarf? But, there's no humiliation in subjecting these sisters to such controversy and head exposure?
If the sisters weren't Muslim, apparently they would be allowed to wear headscarves because then it would be unrelated to religion.
The crusade for "diversity and tolerance" ends with total conformity and intolerance. After all, those preaching diversity are total liars.

In France, a Muslim girl is kicked out of school for wearing a scarf because she wears it for religious reasons. In Oklahoma, a Muslim girl is kicked out for wearing a scarf because the school assumes the scarf is warn for a non-religious reason.
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) -- An 11-year-old Oklahoma girl has been suspended from a public school because officials said her Muslim head scarf violates dress code policies.
Board officials met Friday to discuss the fate of suspended sixth-grader Nashala "Tallah" Hern, who was asked to leave school in the eastern Oklahoma town of Muskogee on October 1 because she refused to remove her head scarf, called a "hijab."
School officials instituted a dress code in 1997 prohibiting the wearing of hats and other head coverings indoors. Officials said they implemented the code to stem gang-related activity.

These two examples are interesting exception to the rule, the natives aren't being forced to change their behavior to make immigrants feel more welcome, but the immigrants are being forced to change their behavior to fit in better.
It's sad that these two schools, one in France and one in America, both suspended girls for wearing scarfs because both of them are tyrannically minded and devoid of commonsense. It's also a problem created by open boarders and a problem created by government running the schools.
