Another step towards criminalizing Muslims. They are a convenient scapegoat for the fascists and libs to channel the anger and hate away from themselves and towards marginalized groups.
No, like already pointed out, in France, Religion has no place in schools. This has nothing directly to do with muslims
Secularism is not the motivation behind this. If it was, this law would have already been on the books for centuries. But Islamophobia is a great way to get the racist vote right now.
I you believe this has nothing to do with Muslims, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Man, I'm Belgian and France is one of the most racist countries I know.
These laws are always targeted at the same people but always wrapped in a layer of good intentions and nationalism.
All these laws are doing is making the divide between people bigger.
The law has already been in the books for one century. Laïcity is the removal of any religious sign from schools and is one of the pillars of the French Republic. Yet, recently France failed to enforce it and that's why explicit stances are taken now, which looks bad of course but it is a necessary course correction.
