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.

Can't just let women wear what they want. Clearly lacking a penis makes them incapable of deciding what clothes to wear.

It s not only female its everyone . No one can were religion cloth. That just normal you are in a public place .

Banning clothes in public space is fascism.

I guess then we will force them to wear a special star and send them in special "protective" camps?

Let me guess, you're either an american or an anglo?

I'm French. But I know what fascism or racism are so I understand it can be a bit unsettling.

Et si tu me crois pas à cause de l'anglais on peut faire le débat en français, mais j'avoue que parler avec des fascistes ignorants m'emmerde pas mal.
