If it is a ban on all religious symbols for state employees who are teachers, I am fine with that. To call it xenophobic is not a very convincing argument as there are Swiss people who are muslims and for many muslims a hijab isn’t a fundamental part of the religion. Making exceptions for muslims just is unfair treatment for everyone else. A secular state means citizens have freedom of religion and that religion has no place in state business.
