Sounds fair to me, we need less religion everywhere.
What I don't get is the right wing pushing this and the left wing being against it, while the hero of the far left said 'Religion is the opium of the masses.'
Because banning something so petty like a hijab is just a dick move which serves no purpose other than cause more tension, if any women is wearing something by her choice, who the fuck are we to judge? Isn’t that the whole point of tolerance and being left wing?
See, now I know you either just didn't read it or didn't understand. It applies to all religious symbols, not just a hijab. Can you argue it's unfair to non western religions like the above commenters? Yes and probably should. But what you said is wrong. They are not "banning something so petty like the hijab".
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread"
They are.., no other religion really has something like this like one of the comments here said, ~~almost~~ all cases are about hijabs
Also how tf is hijab a ‘religious symbol’ anyway? It’s just a piece of clothing which is no different than those caps you find in jackets or hoodies
I see no point in doing something so stupid like this, why not ban cigarettes instead of discriminating for wearing a piece of clothing?
Edit: kinda misunderstood your comment, you called them out for discriminating non western religions, sorry its 4AM and i am cranky AF
