So many people here either intentionally or not misunderstanding the point...
There's freedom of religion, but not in official governement settings. This is not to infringe on rights, it's just the opposite. Just for your religion you shant get treated differently. This is why you don't get to advertise your religion as a governement employee, nor as a citizen when appealing to the governement. This is exactly the inverse of authorianism, it's a reaction to a state forcing people from a certain religion to wear a distinct mark (star of david) by which they were discrimnated against and eradicated.
Furthermore there should be some norms in place for what can be worn in school. I'm no advocate for uniforms, but dressrules respectful of the institution can be demanded (e.g. not wearing headwear in church or covering ones hair when visiting a mosque)
To be honest we wear headwear in churches in france now
Oh. Well whenever I'm in churches in France, it's usually not during service. Then again, it's a bit beside the point.
(Hi! French and Christian here. Nobody wears headwear in churches, except for nuns.)
Thnx, it seemed like a weird assertion from the other person. Didn't really question it as it was quite beside the point anyway
Yes
