Religious Freedom and Head Scarves

The European human rights court yesterday uanimously rejected the complaint of two French Muslim girls who were expelled from school for refusing to remove their head scarves.  Although I haven't read the opinion, Reuters reports that the court determined that "the school had done its best to balance the interests of the girls with respect for France's secular model, and their expulsion was a consequence of their refusal to respect rules of which they had been properly informed."
