Ban On Headscarves
In French Schools
Causes Controversy & Shaved Head
Hair News For October 2, 2004
A 15-year-old girl has beaten the ban
on headscarves in French schools by shaving off her hair.
Cennet Doganay was banned from classes for wearing a
headscarf after a law preventing kids from wearing religious
signs in schools came in. "I will respect both French law and
Muslim law by taking off what I have on my head and not showing
my hair," said Cennet, whose school is in Strasbourg. There have
been protests against the new law across Europe.
The ban also covers large Christian crucifixes, Sikh turbans
and Jewish skullcaps. The law was introduced in September.
Schools were told not to exclude kids who rebelled against the
ban, but to try to sort the issue out by talking about it.
Reports say about 120 girls across France insisted on keeping
their headscarves at the start of term, but most have now given
in because they don't want to be expelled.
