The problem is not with teachers of minority religions wearing headscarfs, Sikh headresses etc.  The problem is that teachers wearing symbols of the majority religion will make students of minority faiths or no faith at all feel marginalized.  For this reason, I think the ban should be kept and extended to jewelry.  Visible crosses or lapel pins saying "Jesus loves me"should also be banned.
