\n

Former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kors has proposed a ban on headscarves in high schools as part of his promises to the next general election due on September 29.<\/p>\n

Kors, known for his anti-Islam and pro-Islamophobic stances, has vowed to ban the headscarf in high schools, whether for female students or teachers, if he wins the election.<\/p>\n

According to opinion polls, the Kors party is likely to get 35% of the votes, which qualifies him to form a coalition government.<\/p>\n

The proposal came days after the Ministry of Education activated a circular to implement the ban on wearing the headscarf in whole or in part in primary schools, and activate judicial procedures against violators of students and teachers.<\/p>\n

Kors’ proposal was challenged by a number of civil society workers.<\/p>\n

“Freedom of religion is restricted by the laws of the country, and the headscarf ban is unacceptable,” said Umit Farol, president of Austria’s Muslim Organization. “The hijab is a religious obligation on every Muslim woman and cannot be part of any political debate.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
