The southern German state of Bavaria has become the latest of the country's federal states to ban Muslim school teachers from wearing headscarves. The Bavarian parliament approved the measure after Culture Minister Monika Hohlmeier argued that the headscarf was a symbol of the repression of women.<sarcasm>Because, you know, the biggest threat facing us is a square of fabric on a woman's head. It's such an abomination that it must be banned.</sarcasm>
Three other German states - Lower Saxony, Baden-Wuerttemberg and Saarland - have already imposed similar bans.
Displaying Christian and Jewish symbols will still be allowed in Bavaria. (source)
