Here is the latest craziness
from France: A long skirt (when worn by a muslim girl) is an "ostentatious
religious symbol" that cannot be tolerated in French schools. Sounds too
good to be true? Well it is. Indeed 16 year old muslim girl K De Sousa has been
kicked out of her school in a suburb of Paris because her skirt was judged too
long by her teacher.
Yes the reason was her long
skirt, she wasn't even wearing a headscarf at school. She does wear a headscarf
outside but she takes it off everytime she enters school because it is ILLEGAL
in France. Apparently the French government's mission has moved from banning
the headscarf in Government institutions to stripping muslim women from their
clothes.
You would think this is an
isolated incident but in fact the year 2015 saw a lot more incidents of the
same kind all over France. What does French law say about this? We can
summarize it as follows: You can wear long skirts at school as long as you are
not doing it for religious purposes. As you can guess this is open to
interpretation of the intention behind wearing what you are wearing.
