Pupils will be banned from wearing abayas, loose-fitting full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in France's state-run schools, the education minister has said.

The rule will be applied as soon as the new school year starts on 4 September.

France has a strict ban on religious signs in state schools and government buildings, arguing that they violate secular laws.

Wearing a headscarf has been banned since 2004 in state-run schools.

Yeah here in sweden we have welfare so everyone can afford basics like that.

We have welfare too. Doesn't change the fact that people on welfare aren't regularly buying expensive clothing. Same goes for Sweden.

i thought you meant that they had ragged clothes, people don't really flaunt expensive clothes that much here.

any bad treatment in schools here is generally just down to kids having bad home environments and taking it out on those they percieve as weaker, or kids having undiagnosed autism/adhd and having trouble with being social so they just sorta get forgotten about.

You don't generally get bullied for being poor here because you don't generally really notice that people are poor, and with high living standards there simply ends up being less bullying.
