We discuss France's recent step towards banning religious garments and symbols in state schools, including the controversial decision to ban abayas, and long, loose-fitting robes worn by some Muslim girls and women. French Education Minister Gabriel Attal's assertion that wearing an abaya to school constitutes a "religious gesture" has sparked debate and protests. We explore the perspectives of teachers' unions, the French Muslim Association, and left-wing politicians on this issue, as well as the historical context of secularism in France. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on this topic.
