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.

It's letting children wear headcoverings. I don't see how that's religiously infringing on non headscarf wearers.
Its infringing on those children's right to have a sane, rational upbringing in which they aren't oppressed by old men and used as social currency, which their only value being their bodies
And being forced to take off garments of clothing by other old men is the solution?
Don't be ridiculous
