The education minister says female Muslim students will not be allowed to wear the loose-fitting robe.

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!

    Hey Denmark, are you looking at this? This is how your treat religion. They are no better than anyone else and they do not deserve any kind of special treatment.

      I didn’t realize being able to wear “loose-fitting full-length robes” was special treatment. Have atheists been unable to wear this type of clothing up until now?

        Atheists can wear a crucifix necklace too but it would still be considered a religious symbol

          I live in France though. And I lived in 5 cities in various part of it, so I’m pretty sure I know the country.

          And I know racists are a shame for France, the country of Lumières, révolution and résistance against fascism.
