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.

    Context: you made two comments about how people who move to new countries should be expected to assimilate. If you’re talking about the original post, you’re in the wrong thread lol. Your reply had nothing to do with my comment, and I never said that I disagree with the law. Have a good day.

      Context: you’re totally incapable of actually recognizing context and are the typical bad faith arguing sealion, and think you made a point, when you just defended cultures that can’t be defended because they can’t manage to provide a culture that doesn’t create millions of refugees. You’re a shill that sucks imperialist cock and you don’t have any clue on how to create a society, just ideas on how to tear one down.
