#1 Should have done it when the French did it. The French would have gotten the majority of the bad press and the message to the "Islamic fundamentalists" would have been stronger.

That is assuming you were going to make this move in the first place. Something I'm not so certain about.

#2 It couldn't be done earlier. This is the result of a Muslim teacher sueing her school for not allowing the hijab. The highest German court ruled that the school could only ban it if the respective German "land" passed legislation. This is being done now.

Btw note the difference to France: France bans the hijab of pupils, Germany only the hijab of teachers.
