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.

    How about instead of telling women what to wear you actually set up support structures for the women who have been abused by religion. This law is asinine and barely differs from religious nuts who force them to wear the headscarf.

        You’ll sure show them how abusive it is for them to be forced wear headwear by forcing them not to wear it. Women aren’t idiots who need to be told that they are abused and especially “telling” them that they are abused by forcing them to do something.

        As women in Iran have showed they are very much aware of it and don’t white atheist to tell them shit
