France to ban female students from wearing abayas in state schools
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.

Good. Muslisms countries penalize homosexuality, women freedom between other things.
Western Europe should ban Muslisms religious things.
As if hardcore Christians didn't advocate for those exact same things.
Yes, but christianism/catholicism has accepted progressive ideals more. Just this week the pope advocated for same sex couples.
When I see that in muslism, when muslism countries remove the death or life jail penalties for same sex couples, when queer people are not scared of walking though mideast communities in western Europe, then I will advocate for muslisms.
Plenty of Christians despise the pope and Evangelicals would love to hang queer people and they use all the same symbolism.
That doesn't take away that the pope, the head of the religion, plus other members are pushing for same sex couples.
Show me that happening in muslism.
Yes but they don't hang gays anymore...
They absolutely would if they could.
Agreed. Desert monkeys need to learn the concept of consequence.
So were at the point with Lemmy now that we have to deal with blatant racists? cool.
That means that a large portion of reddit moved to Lemmy. Its a double edged sword
I think you forgot the /s at the end (so that mods won't ban you for satire lol)
