France banned the headscarves.
Germany banned the headscarves.
Turkey banned the headscarves (yes, even Turkey)...
These are hardly religous symbols and more analogous to a dog pissing on a tree for territorial purposes. They oppress muslim women and treat them as property of muslim men.
However, for the sake of argument, asssuming this is a pure religous symbol and it is discriminating this one group, I would still support a ban on headscarves because it is not being used for religious purposes in school, but rather to provoke and pressure other religious groups. In school, the headscarf is a tool used by extremists and fundamentalists to threaten jewish and catholic groups. Any religious meaning behind wearing the headscarf has been lost or abused by the few bad apples in this orchard.
