The wearing of the Islamic hijab is prohibited in French schools

  "Gabriel Atal", the Minister of Education of France, announced on Sunday that the wearing of the Islamic hijab by veiled girls in the schools of this country is prohibited. According to AAA, in an interview with TF1, he claimed that Islamic dress violates French secular laws on education. He added: When you walk into a classroom, you shouldn't be able to tell the religion of the students just by looking at them. This action comes after several months of debate between different factions in France. During these debates, it was the far-right factions that encouraged the ban on girls' clothing, but the left-wing factions pointed out that this ban violates civil liberties. At the end of the debate, it was the right-wing parties who had the last word.

According to the law that was approved in March 2004 in France, in French schools it is forbidden to wear clothing that shows the religious affiliation of students, and with the approval of this law, Muslim girls are prohibited from wearing headscarves in schools in this country, but they were allowed to wear the Islamic hijab and so far have not faced any ban. The issue of Muslim women's hijab is one of the most important challenges facing Muslims in Western societies. On March 15, 2006, then-French President Jacques Chirac passed a law banning any particular religious symbol in public schools. This sign includes the cross, Islamic hijab and special hats.
