Netherlands: Court rules Catholic school may ban headscarves

Via RNW:
A Dutch court on Monday ruled that the Don Bosco College in Volendam, a town north of Amsterdam, can refuse to allow its students to wear Islamic headscarves. A 15-year-old school student Imane Mahssan had brought the test case.

The Judge said a ban on headscarves fitted in with the Roman Catholic character of the school which also disallows symbols of other non-Catholic religions.
