A little, but the issue became what restrictions on religious freedom are best for society, and that was clearly in the line of discussing the banning of religious garb in state schools.
I raised the point that banning religious garb in state schools whilst allowing private religious education could easily result in worse outcomes for both the religious children in question and for society as a whole. You then expanded the scope into other areas, and I responded.
To draw it back to the specific religious restriction in question, I'm starting to think that you either allow religious garb in schools (like the UK) or ban both religious garb and private education. A mix, like France, seems like it may only isolate children of religious parents more with some likely unpleasant consequences.
