French ban of abaya robes in schools draws applause, criticism

The decision on the robes, worn by some Muslim women, is part of a ban on religious symbols in state schools to uphold France's strict brand of secularism.

The French government’s decision to ban children from wearing the abaya, the loose-fitting, full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in state-run schools drew applause on Monday from the right, but also criticism.

      It’s not unique to france.

      All nations are controlled by petulant children who believe if they don’t like something, then neither should anyone else.

      Most adults are kids these days. It’s really sad, but the ruling class has been successful in keeping us as stupid as possible for as long as possible.

        That or a baker. The French really don’t like bakers. Last person to suggest others eat cake had her head chopped off.
