Pupils will be banned from wearing abayas, loose-fitting full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in France’s state-run schools, the education minister has said.
The rule will be applied as soon as the new school year starts on 4 September.
France has a strict ban on religious signs in state schools and government buildings, arguing that they violate secular laws.
Wearing a headscarf has been banned since 2004 in state-run schools.
Great so one side is telling women what they must do and the other side is telling women what they must not do.
One wants women to be part of society and have the opportunity to choose their own paths and the other will kill them if they dare to fall in love with someone not chosen by her parents.
Choose their own path by checks notes telling them what they can’t wear.
Yeah you basically just repeated your first argument. Good job.
It’s a good argument that you’ve failed to address adequately. Seems worth the repeating.
They must learn our freedom loving ways by coercion!
