    Now you are equating a modest attire to a violation of public decency. Let me rephrase, you are not allowing students to be free to wear a perfectly acceptable and not necessarily religious attire in school. This is imposing uniformity. The hijab is not religiously imposed as there is no centralized authority of that, the only imposition here is your law.
    Yes it was.
    You claimed earlier that the ban was imposed because the hijab represents a religion of racism, gender discrimination, and violence. This is not the reason it was banned and is irrelevant to the ban. It was banned because it is perceived to be religious period. Long beards, robes, and turbans aren't banned so you're only banning women's perceived "religious" attire.
    , they WERE French before Savoie, until they earned a well-deserved independence. Stop clichés, please.
    Moroccans are generally looked down upon in France. I must admit this is from personal experience. French people are cool but I remember walking by as a crew of them yelled, inviting my friends and I over for a drink at a festival when one salty girl sitting beside them brushed her hands in an uppity fashion saying “Morocco, Morocco,” with a nasty frown and I’m not even from Morocco. Of course we sat with them despite this buzzkill. I assume there is a noticeable stigma on these people as outsiders often, low-key of course. This isn’t only in France, it’s perfectly normal actually but there’s no attempt to strip them of an important part of their ethnic origins. These sort of decisions to ban a harmless personal preference (like punk, hip hop culture, someone mentioned satanist clothes earlier) devalues an attire common across cultures and ethnicities.

    If any of the cities in the middle east imposed a dress code or headscarves on foreigners, they would instantly be hauled as fascist religious nuts. Imposing a ban is imposing a ban, especially in cases like this where something is completely personal. How does this law exactly prevent the racism you claim Islam contains (which there are no traces of btw)?
