Headscarves will not be banned in schools in Fribourg.
The cantonal Parliament has voted against the proposal.
The Social Democrat who wrote the proposal, Erika Schnyder, told the Fribourg Parliament, “No matter what you decide, this debate is just the beginning.”
The full Islamic veil, which covers the face, is already banned in Fribourg schools.
This proposal concerned only scarves worn on the head.
