Since 1 September, Austria has banned headscarves for female pupils under 14 at state and private schools. Repeated breaches of the rule could lead to fines of €150 to €800 for parents.
Since the start of the 2026/27 school year on 1 September, female pupils in Austria under the age of 14 have been prohibited from wearing any headscarf at school that “covers the head in line with Islamic traditions.”
Teachers’ representatives say the new rule has generally been implemented calmly and respectfully. At the same time, some schools have reported conflicts and, in some cases, aggressive reactions.
The new law was already controversial before it came into force, with critics questioning whether it was compatible with freedom of religion and the principle of equality.
From 2027-28, they will also tattoo a crescent on the foreheads of students from offending communities. For easier identification, of course.
The following year, they will go to separate schools to learn more about European culture.
After that, they will go to a special work camp to learn useful skills. This solution will be quite final, so no more steps will be required.
Yea NOT wearing a accessory specific to your religion and ensuing that you are old enough to deside how you won’t to engage with you’re religion will do wonders for public identification. Genius logic there.
Context for the historically illiterate
I’m German I know exactly what you were implying. You are aware that calling me historically illiterate and just posting a link to to that wikipedia article misses my point entirely? It was that it is obviously not comparable to the Judenstern, the opposite if anything.
Harassing one minority group is the opposite of harassing another?
Saying islamist is bad is litteral nazi Germany now… Ubm serve only one goal doing so. Normalize a religon that impose the veil to women cause they are inferior and shouldn’t take part in society as equal to men. Wich is religious law cause a pedophile who make religious law the right to rape the vainquish and put them in slavery wanted to isolate women. So stop it with your bs
The world would be a better place if leaders were capable of even asking the question, “Are we the baddies?” The second step is answering the question truthfully.
I feel like a lot of said leaders would be perfectly fine with a positive answer
