If it was a ban explicitly on Muslim headscarves it’d be discriminatory.

It's a bit trickier than that. In France schools are secular by law. In principal this is great. In practice chistians never had an issue wearing their cross neckless, even in a visible manner. Muslim girls from conservative families on the other hand can be forced to quit school at a young age, since they are not allowed to wear a scarf there.

Seems self-defeating to me. Most effective way to fight radical religosity is to educate people. Let em go to school and half of them will be ex-Muslim by college.

Let them go to school

are you talking to the parents?

and half of them will be ex-Muslim by college

Have you seen this happening for christians? They pretty much all go to school.

Nah, the government. Trying to de-radicalize people with ingrained beliefs is hard and unlikely. Accept the parent's wierd beliefs, let the kids go to school wearing whatever the parents want, and you get much less radical kids out the other end.

Yah, every graph of % of religious people is trending solidly down.
