German Teachers Support Official Proposal to Ban Girls Under 14 from Wearing Hijab

Germany's Teachers' Association on Monday supported a government proposal to ban girls under the age of 14 from wearing headscarves in class.

“These people who harm, who dress in black to carry out attacks, destroy the property of others in the name of Islam, what they do has nothing to do with Islam. That is why I want to ban the niqab,” said Guinean President Alpha Conde. Image used for illustrative purposes. (AFP/File)
