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.

Yeah you sure can advocate for people to be free to hate trans people and indoctrinate their children with it. You can sleep easy

Force them to wear some different clothes, that will make them tolerate trans people more.

Yes people are allowed to hate anyone they want. What they're not allowed to do is act on that hate.

So you want to have people teach their kids to hate and promote violence and then you're going to stop them when they physically act on it. Seems to me you want to sit on your high horse while the world around you gets worse
