(IsraelNN.com) The American state of Oregon may ban Jewish teachers as well as Muslim and Sikh educators from wearing religious garb under the pretense of providing "religious freedom" for students.

The Oregon Workplace Religious Freedom Act, which was just signed by Governor Ted Kulongoski, was intended to enable workers to don religious attire such as yarmulkes, turbans, and hijabs while on the job, as well as take time off for their holy days.
