France to ban female students from wearing abayas in state schools
bbc.com
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.

As if hardcore Christians didn't advocate for those exact same things.
Yes, but christianism/catholicism has accepted progressive ideals more. Just this week the pope advocated for same sex couples.
When I see that in muslism, when muslism countries remove the death or life jail penalties for same sex couples, when queer people are not scared of walking though mideast communities in western Europe, then I will advocate for muslisms.
Plenty of Christians despise the pope and Evangelicals would love to hang queer people and they use all the same symbolism.
That doesn't take away that the pope, the head of the religion, plus other members are pushing for same sex couples.
Show me that happening in muslism.
Yes but they don't hang gays anymore...
They absolutely would if they could.
