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. When you decide to join another culture, you don’t force yours on them. If your culture was so shitty that you had to flee to a different country, then maybe it was a shitty culture that shouldn’t be preserved
How does the style of clothes you’re wearing force anything on anyone? It’s cool if you want to embrace the new culture, but you wouldn’t be hurting anyone if you didn’t. Besides, it’s not like you have to choose one or the other; assimilating doesn’t have to mean you give up everything pertaining to the culture you lived in before.
Side note – shitty culture is far from the only reason for people to move. I’m no expert, but I’m guessing it’s not at the top of the list either, lol.
Kids are bullies. That’s one point of school uniforms. It takes away a potential bullying target
And?
They outlawed wearing these clothes in schools. I gave you a good reason to have kids wearing the same thing. You’re being obtuse.
Context: you made two comments about how people who move to new countries should be expected to assimilate. If you’re talking about the original post, you’re in the wrong thread lol. Your reply had nothing to do with my comment, and I never said that I disagree with the law. Have a good day.
Context: you’re totally incapable of actually recognizing context and are the typical bad faith arguing sealion, and think you made a point, when you just defended cultures that can’t be defended because they can’t manage to provide a culture that doesn’t create millions of refugees. You’re a shill that sucks imperialist cock and you don’t have any clue on how to create a society, just ideas on how to tear one down.
The majority of these people aren’t fleeing the culture, they’re fleeing the regimes. Wearing clothing that you wore your whole life isn’t “forcing” it on anyone, you are just being yourself. Would you tolerate a mostly-white school banning dashikis? What if the white principal said “Well the kid wearing it is getting bullied we’re trying to protect him!” Do you see how fucking backwards that is?
