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.

Plastic surgery does not make everyone look alike. That's a silly thing to say lol

Also you're missing the highly relevant point that plastic surgery is not compulsory

Well i made a silly argument to show you how I feel about yours lol.

Nobody is imposing a cloth on anyone, and even less a religious one. So you can't use niqqab in your argument against me because that's literally what i am against!

You could say for example that's a cultural thing, and forbidding it would somehow restrict the minority. But then, it's only public schools, the law doesn't care (me neither) about adults wearing it outside. (I don't know why I am arguing with myself on your behalf 🤔)

What it does care about, is to prevent community bubbles forming within groups of children. Which i totally support.
