The French government’s decision to ban children from wearing the abaya, the loose-fitting, full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in state-run schools drew applause on Monday from the right, but also criticism.
Children shouldn’t have to uphold any religion imo. It’s tough here though as it’s also their freedom to wear whatever so I don’t think that ban is the best way to approach this issue here.
This is correct. Even if we don’t necessarily agree with why they’re choosing to wear it, saying that they’re outright not able to is completely unacceptable.
They are not choosing shit. They are being forced to wear them by their parents. It’s indoctrination and abuse
What? None of them are choosing to wear it?
It’s all being forced upon them?
What about the government now literally forcing them to wear what is ‘acceptable’? That just gets a pass, huh?

Lol, lemmyers. Can’t expect rational trains of thought from you, I guess.
This is dumb. I grew up going to a mainstream private Jewish school. We had to wear yarmulkes.
Every child grows up in the guidance of parents, and everyone thinks someone’s lifestyle is abuse. Did you parents feed you meat? Yes? That’s abuse. No? That’s abuse.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
PARIS, Aug 28 (Reuters) - The French government’s decision to ban children from wearing the abaya, the loose-fitting, full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in state-run schools drew applause on Monday from the right, but also criticism.
France has enforced a ban on religious symbols in state schools since 2004, to uphold its strict brand of secularism, known as “laicite”.
“Our schools are continually put under test, and over the past months, breaches to laicite have increased considerably, in particular with (pupils) wearing religious attire like abayas and kameez,” Education Minister Gabriel Attal told a news conference to explain Sunday’s ban.
The SNPDEN-UNSA union of school principals welcomed the decision, saying what it needed above all was clarity from the government, its national secretary, Didier Georges, told Reuters.
They will, once again, feel stigmatised," said sociologist Agnes De Feo, who has been researching French women wearing niqab for the past decade.
Riffi said there was a wider fashion trend among female high school students, who buy long dresses and kimonos online.

Ironic the Muslims fighting for freedom, when they can’t accept homosexuality.
This is fucked up. France scares me.
You’re probably a bit gullible then
It’s not unique to france.
All nations are controlled by petulant children who believe if they don’t like something, then neither should anyone else.
Most adults are kids these days. It’s really sad, but the ruling class has been successful in keeping us as stupid as possible for as long as possible.
Fuck that shit, forcing kids/women to wear whatever some nazis prefer
And what about what the pedophile rapist worshippers prefer?
what?
You reference Nazis I reference Islam’s prophet Muhammad raping his 9 year old wife. At least mine is tangentially related to the topic.
