    France has enforced a strict ban on religious signs at schools since the 19th Century, including Christian symbols such as large crosses, in an effort to curb any Catholic influence from public education.

    It has been updating the law over the years to reflect its changing population, which now includes the Muslim headscarf and Jewish kippa, but abayas have not been banned outright.

    So going by the article, some religious clothing is outright banned while crosses are allowed as long as they are not large?

      All crosses are banned. Totally unacceptable. Source: I’m a 20yo french.
