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.
I mean, wasn’t this the same government that was gassing it’s own citizens not too long ago because they were protesting for their rights?
I’m not surprised they are passing an idiotic ban like this so kudos for being even shittier I guess?
