Is it right to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs in schools

Visit http://www.sikhs.org for information about Sikhism.

Thanks
After attending those courses, have you reached some conclusions? If you feel like to share here with the rest of participants.
And, if I can continue asking, are sunni muslim? or Quran alone follower?
I'd be very interested in listening to about these subjects here in the forum.

About me refering to beliefs, I don't follow any religion, I read about them. What attracts me the most is to know how followers believe, how important their belief is for them, the impact on their lives.
I like to observe the differences, the rules, the basic, the rituals, the effort many humans put in their relation with their creator, their origin, their soul.

Quoting Hitchhiker: we are a soul, we have a body. Soul thread

Note to clarify: it seems the French govt. said nothing about sihks turbans, just about
Islamic headscarves, Jewish skullcaps and large Christian crosses.

Hi!

I just saw this topic, and want to share something..

I'm a Muslim girl from Turkey, and I'm wearing headscarf. ("what age do the girls start wearing the hijab?" It starts from puberty...)

The headscarf ban is a very deep topic. It will be very long and difficult for me explain it entirely. (My English vocabulary is not enough for this.) But I can add some parts of my dairy here for telling you about my emotions...

Just as I wasn't seen off from the school, which for years I went in and out of, neither was I able to say goodbye to my friends. I didn't want to see anyone's pitiful eyes. I had to hold my head high and my heart at peace; I need to be strong towards those who were separated from me.
... They first told me to take off my headscarf because it was against the dress code. If I took off my headscarf, then all the problems at the school would be solved. They told me that my headscarf was an obstacle to hapiness...Yes, they were imagining a rosy school without me. I was disturbing the peace with my headscarf. Things were not going right as long as I walked around with my headscarf. As long as the greatest right given to women by my religion, in other words my headscarf was accused as being a political symbol, my heart felt indescribable pain. What did I do during my the eight years of my educational life that after enquiries and defences, I was struck off as a student.... I just seek my right and want to exercise education and faith rights together...
