Abstract

Five applicants were enrolled in various state schools for the year 2004-2005. On the first day of school, the girls, who are Muslims, arrived wearing a headscarf or kerchief. The boys were wearing an under-turban worn by Sikhs. For failure to comply with the French ban on all conspicuous religious symbols in all classes of state schools, they were expelled from school. According to the Court, the ban is based on the constitutional principle of secularism, which is consistent with the values protected by the Convention. The complaints under Article had to rejected as manifestly ill-founded.
