  • I disagree, the Abaya is not just a flowing robe.

    It is a garment that is required by the Sharia law (see Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries where women are not allowed to choose what they wear).

    Allowing this is the first step in letting religion in the public schools in France, where it has always been explicitly banned.

    And it is very unlike banning rainbows, those are a symbol used to promote acceptance of the diversity of others, something religions struggle with (ever notice how religion is closely tied with extremism?)

    Another factor to take into account is that these young girl may be forced by their family to wear such a garment, imposing upon them something they may not be old enough to refuse.

    Also, look up the paradox of intolerance, as allowing anyone to do as they please causes the rise of extremism.
