As long as the scarves represent a religious duty, banning them grossly infringes on an individual's religious freedom. This is a horrible step backwards for Europe.
If the scarves were being used simply to represent affiliation with a particular sect or pseudo-religious movement (Wahabis) then I would be much more sympathetic to the ban (like Crips and Bloods doo rags are banned in LA schools), .
