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.

    And? I have made it clear that I fucking hate religion. That doesn’t mean raising a kid with religion in of itself rises to the level of abuse. The depressing thing is the people who generally raise a child are the people who made the child. And we can’t legislate being a good parent we can only legislate against being an abusive one.

    I would worry all that much. Those kids will grow up and see Islam and Christianity for the disgusting filth it is and leave.
