The Austrian parliament passes a headscarf ban for schoolgirls.

Austria's lower house of parliament on Thursday passed a law banning headscarves in schools for girls under the age of 14.

Rights groups consider the move as discriminatory in the context of growing anti-immigration sentiment in the country.

"What has 20 years of banning #headscarves done for #France?This failed #policy was sold as a defence of French #secularism. Instead it has opened the floodgates of #intolerance and become a tool for #exclusion."
