Parents challenged a school rule and disciplinary exclusions affecting pupils wearing Islamic headscarves. In Kherouaa, the Conseil d’État annulled the general prohibition and the contested exclusions. Its reasoning linked secular public education to pupils’ freedom of conscience rather than an unrestricted power to suppress religious expression. The case records families using administrative law to defend access to school. It predates the different legal framework introduced by France in 2004.
