this absolutely rediculous,its about persecuting religion,this isnt seperation of church and state,its founded in anti religious feelings.

you do realize that a muslim girl is not allowed to wear a simple scarf on her head under this law right?

what if that girl cant afford a private school?

should she then be FORCED to basically denounce her religion and be humiliated in public by not being able to cover her head like she is used to?

and at the same time people are allowed to wear rediculous things to school such as pounds of chains and ripped clothing.
how the hell does someone wearing a scarf over their head effect anyone else?

hey im offended by that blue shirt you're wearing go put on a red shirt,you cant wear blue shirts except in your own home away from public view.

this along with the language police in france and they still ocnsider themselves a free country? hah what a joke.


My religion calls for public orgies. By forbidding me to have them in public buildings you're repressing my religion.

Should a person who wants to wear a headscarf be denied, on account of it being used as a religious symbol? What if they are wearing it because it's their style?


Ahem, I'm going to reply to this then go online. :3

It's true. I wore a headscarf during my senior year in high school (just for style, and other things...). I had to FIGHT the administration to wear my scarf because they put it in the "hat/ gang color" category. I, personally, did not think the scarf caused any fear or mass hysteria.

In the end, I won. However, it was a hollow victory since I had to disrupt the school administration. *sigh*
