France to ban female students from wearing abayas in state schools - Lemmy.world
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.
Wow. As a religious minority it’s incredibly depressing to see how many people on here support this violation of religious liberty.
Yeah I agree with you. It’s one thing to say the school can’t promote a religious creed to the pupils, it is another to limit self-expression of dress when it doesn’t impact other students
French secularism is way different than what americans have, it is pretty unique. Remember it
It is less about religious freedom but more about the fact that no religion should exist in state run places like school.
So what is the solution for religious families then? Are they forced to private institutions/homeschool?
The solution is to not mix up faith and school
