Denmark is tightening its stance on religious face coverings. After banning the burqa and niqab/hijab in public spaces, the government is now seeking to extend the restrictions to schools and universities, arguing that democratic values should take priority in education.The move has sparked debate across Europe. Supporters see it as a step toward integration and secularism, while critics and human rights groups warn it disproportionately affects Muslim women and undermines religious freedom.
