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.

    It’s a quote. It’s copy and paste. If someone spelled it wrong, it’s not me.

    Either way. If a tiny cross is allowed and a tiny star is not, that’s bad.

    No symbols should be allowed of any kind. 🤷‍♂️

    I wonder how they handle tattoos.
