France is Simply Saying Non to the Abayah

[Leonardo17]

I will also add these quotes from the French Minister of Education Gabriel Attal:
“Secularism is not a constraint, it is a liberty”

So all conspicuous signs of religious affiliation have been banned.
 
In the previous school year there were about 300 girls who defied these rules. While most of them agreed to change-up when they were told to do so, some 70 still refused.
 
And that’s why I really admire the firmness of Emmanuel Macron on this. The problem in most European nations is that, you cannot not go to school either. So one side has to give in. The principle of laicité or traditional customs of minority groups.
 
I must also add that leftists are very critical of this approach. I am not. But I think that dialogue is crucial while carrying-out such policies.
 
Minority identities are a very important issue in almost all countries. So like the events in Sweden the government must repeat its message “I am doing this because of that. I am not against your culture or identity. This is our social contract here. So try to be patient until you are 18 and are able to study in college as a grown up woman who can make her own decisions”
 
And I don’t really know the government’s approach in Sweden after the Quran burning incident. But the French are usually very good at this. As long as they are able to maintain this “communication” than there should be no major issue.
