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.

I'm not against freedom of expression as long as it doesn't bring harm to anyone

Wearing symbols of a religon or faith someone subscribes to doesn't harm anyone just like dressing with a person's own preference of clothing does not harm anyone

People should be free to express themselves and not be forced to hide parts of themselves away in public because someone in government thinks dressing a certain way or wearing a symbol of faith or religon inherently leads to something bad happening for example americas domestic terrorists

And just to he clear I'm not supporting right wing bigotry with my comment, I will never be tolerant of bigotry and intolerance

And I've seen a lot of people in this posts comment section being in support of this being rude & inflammatory
