Ban of Veil in German Schools
In 1998, the German muslim teacher Fereshta Ludin went to court to try to overturn a decision by school authorities in Badem-Württemberg not to hire her because she insisted on wearing a veil. Germany‘s Constitutional Court declares in 2003, that wearing a veil as a teacher in public schools can be both prohibited and allowed. It is left tot he decretion of the federal states, which, however, will need to establish a legal basis for a ban.
