All those French Nuns are gonna look so weird when their hijabs are taken away
Actually, the french secularist law were written more than 100 years ago to kick out nun and priest from public school.
The law banning the scarf in school is from 2004.
The 1901 secularist law is about separating Church and State. It's about freedom of religion and not having any official religion, it wasn't supposed to be about forcing people to hide their religion.
Not sure how many nuns go to this school, don't they kind if have their own schooling? Isn't that their thing?
France's obsession with laicité comes from a long deep war against catholic entrenchment, which was hard won and not to be thrown away for another stubborn religion that comes along.
