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.

    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.
