Wanna know why this whole thing isn’t about a pupil wearing something that shows their religion? They sure as hell don’t ban the kippah, sikhi turban or buddhist and hindu garnments.
For some reason it only goes after Muslims and there mostly after women with the guise of “protecting them from oppression! ;-)”. And it never involves actual talk with the “oppressed” women in question, it’s always the assumption, that of course these women can’t decide for themself and obviously all are forced to wear such garnments.
It started with the burqa and niqab but the people in favor of that promised that it’s just about the face covering, that there is no reason go after the hijab or similar garnments. Surprise surprise, only a few years later here we are and they still fight against “oppression” by limiting what Muslim women can wear. One would think that fighting oppression really was the goal of these people they would ask for actual support measures like providing education campaigns about personal rights and better support network for women. But no, these people think or pretend that such bans will magically solve the issue without any flanking measures. And that tells you all you need to know about their sincerities regarding this topic. It’s not about the girls and women, it never was and never will be.
All clothing and religious symbols are forbidden, so yes even the kipa and the mantilla are forbidden.
And generally speaking, there are per schools rules forbidding head coverings and jewelry, for example.
And we have to stop with this myth of the believer opressed by secularism. Religion is a cult before it is a dress code. The vast majority of believers don’t mind.
I myself come from a Muslim family in France, and the only weirdos who insist on girls wearing veils are the same ones who tell their boys not to eat or sit next to girls at school. Wouldn’t want to risk them marrying an apostate, that would be too bad, huh?
