Leerlingen van de provinciale scholen in Oost-Vlaanderen mogen geen hoofddoek meer dragen op school. De Oost-Vlaamse provincieraad heeft het hoofddoekenverbod vanmiddag goedgekeurd, weliswaar met wisselmeerderheid met Vlaams Belang. Maar niet alle scholen zien dat zitten. "We vrezen dat meisjes met een hoofddoek nu voor thuisonderwijs gaan kiezen", klinkt het.
The ban is made for hijab but I forgot the word so I used a more literal translation for the Dutch word which is headscarves. Though headscarves probably fall under the new measure as hijab wearing people would otherwise be able to say it’s just a regular headscarf.
if a white woman wears a headscarf of any kind, she would probably be able to pass it off as a secular one, even if she is muslim
if a woman of color tries, she would probably not get away with it even if she is not muslim
this is essentially a ban on brown women wearing a headscarf, so your title isn’t incorrect

Thank you for the clarification then!
