(AP Photo/Frank Augstein)Two Muslim mothers wearing headscarves were accosted and prevented from entering a nursery school on the French island of Corsica by two other parents, officials said. The incident happened Monday as parents were dropping off their children at the start of the school day in Bonifacio, on the island’s southern tip. While religious symbols are banned for pupils and teachers in French schools, there is no such constraint on parents.
