France is Simply Saying Non to the Abayah

[Leonardo17]

Is that a good thing, though?

Is it beneficial for society to have lots of religious schools specifically for Muslims, Christians, Jews etc and everyone else in state school?

France, like most countries, already has plenty of private religious schools. The collapse of society due to the presence of these schools is conspicuous by its absence.

No the education system in Continental Europe does not have that. There are only 1-2 such schools here and there. Primary education is financed by the state and these are the schools rich-kids are attending as well. The only private college in France is the American University in Paris (unless it has changed since the early 2000’s).

So Muslim kids will all have to remove their headscarves until the age of 18. And again, this is good. So parents will not be able to impose that on their kids (to make them get used to it). But, if she really believes in it, she is free to wear whatever she likes once she is 18.
 
So Laicité means freedom from religion + Freedom of religion. And I think I totally support this policy of the French Government.
