Niet zomaar een stukje stof. Hoofddoekjesaffaires in Frankrijk, Nederland en Groot-Brittannië

Samenvatting

When Muslim immigrant girls began to wear veils in European public school, the question of support for religious tolerance & diversity entered the usually prosaic debate over dress codes. The responses by education policymakers following the 1989 Creil, France, 1990 Aldricham, GB, the 1985 Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, incidents were sensitive to the perception of a Muslim threat to officially Christian nations. In France, the reconciliation of constitutional guarantees & national values animated the policy making, while in the UK, the dilemma was resolved within the structure of the school system. The classification of the scarf as a garment in the Netherlands reflected a politics-neutral approach. 20 References. Adapted from the source document.
