For several years, the French have been cited for religious clothing that they find inappropriate to wear in the classroom.

Këtë herë polemika ka shpërthyer në fund të verës, ku fillimi i vitit të ri shkollor, mbi një vendim të qeverisë për të ndaluar nga shkollat ​​shtetërore abaya-t, një mantel i gjatë i veshur nga disa vajza muslimane. Për njerëzit në vendet me një traditë të multikulturalizmit liberal, ndalimi duket si një shkelje e papranueshme e të drejtës për shprehje fetare. Për mbrojtësit e një versioni të rreptë të sekularizmit francez, është një masë e nevojshme për të mbrojtur republikën nga ndërhyrjet fetare. Pse Franca është kaq e shqetësuar për veshjen myslimane në shkollat ​​e saj?

Guided by Gabriel Attal, the French Minister of Education, the decision was made on August 31, 4 days before the start of school. On the first day, 298 students went all over France wearing it. Most were sent to the exit to change their clothes. 67 were sent home. Out of 12 million students in France, these figures are minimalistic. But Attal argues that it is a trend that must stop in order to protect French tradition.

France's public approach to religion is known as laïcité, a form of secularism sanctioned by law in 1905 after a long struggle against authoritarian Catholicism. These rules are designed to protect both the right to religious belief and the right not to believe, as well as the neutrality of the state in religious matters. In the early 20th century, secular republicans set out to wrest control of schools from Catholic influence. The latest bans are designed to reinforce the rules governing religious expression of any faith. One introduced in 2004 outlawed in state schools "visible" religious symbols, including the Muslim headscarf, the Jewish kippa and large Christian crosses.

However, French Muslims often feel that such rules unfairly target Islam. The new abaya ban, says Muslim Rights Action, a French anti-Muslim discrimination group that is trying to overturn the decision, risks stigmatizing Muslim students and introducing ethnic profiling. The new rule has won approval from the right and the far right, although it has divided the left, parts of which also remain strongly associated with the defense of laïcité.

The government argues that it is trying to minimize discrimination in the classroom by keeping out religious belief. It is not a matter of choosing casual clothing, he says, but a response to an attempt to spread extremist Islamism in France. Gilles Kepel, a scholar of Islam, says wearing the abaya in schools is part of an Islamic strategy "to test the boundaries" in France. Faced with new pressures, the government says, leaders should have more power to enforce secular rules. The French consider that the secular character of their country is at risk.
