Spanish schoolgirl wins headscarf fight
An eight-year-old Muslim girl in Spain who stayed off school when told to remove her headscarf returned to classes on Tuesday after her college was ordered to let her wear the traditional head cover, her mother said. The regional government of Catalonia, northeast Spain, told the school in Girona to let Shaima Saidani (photo) wear the scarf, or hijab, on grounds it would be discrimination not to do so.
The decision by the Catalonian government contrasts with a ban on headscarves from state schools in France as well as some colleges in the Netherlands. UK and many other EU states allow the headscarf in the name of civil liberty, or let schools decide their own policy.
