Austrian lawmakers have approved plans to ban girls in elementary schools from wearing headscarves, a move that would add to existing restrictions on veils.
The Austria Press Agency reported that lawmakers from the governing coalition of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz's conservative People's Party and the anti-migration Freedom Party supported the measure late Wednesday. Kurz's party conceded that the new headscarf ban is likely to face challenges at Austria's Constitutional Court.
The measure bans wearing"ideologically or religiously characterized clothing" that covers the head, and specifies that it refers to items"that cover the whole or large parts of the hair." Austria's previous government prohibited full-face veils in courts, schools and other"public places" and banned police officers, judges, magistrates and public prosecutors from wearing headscarves.
I thought Austria loved Muslims.

Good, America should follow
Smart people. Should be banned in America too. It triggers me. Represents terrorism.
This is religions oppression

Soon they will say girls must wear only bra and panty to school
Let’s ban crucifix necklaces, while we’re at it. You never know when someone might choke someone with one of those.
Good, progress. Why allow something designed to be oppressive to women? Hopefully, a step to be followed by the rest of the European nations.
