...take down the crucifix from his son's classroom wall; when a judge rules in his favor, a wave of outrage sweeps the country. At a public high school outside Paris, two sisters are expelled for refusing to remove the head scarves they wear in observance of their Islamic faith - yet a dozen or so of their classmates wear head scarves and have not been expelled. And in Germany, a teacher sues for the right to keep her head veiled in the classroom, and after a five-year battle she wins - except the court also rules that states are free...
