Abayas banned at school since the start of the school year
This exchange took place in the context of a ban on the abaya, a traditional Muslim outfit, at school. As a reminder, the subject concerned just under 300 students out of 12 million schoolchildren who returned to school this week.
A principal in Clermont-Ferrand was the target of death threats from the father of a high school student in an abaya who failed at the entrance to his establishment. “These are extremely shocking threats. I had yesterday [jeudi] the principal on the phone. I assured him of all my support, from the government, the State and more generally I believe from our fellow citizens in the face of these threats which are unacceptable and unspeakable,” reacted the minister, on the sidelines of the inauguration of a high school . He was accompanied by Laurent Wauquiez, president of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
