The girls don't have to wear the hijab until after they start menstruating, so they could be taught to swim when they were younger. And maybe they can take off their scarves if there are only women present.

I think this legislation is truly horrible. The result will be further polarization in the society. The religious parents will take the children out of the public schools and put them into private schools, and the religious teachers will give up their jobs.

It's already hard enough to be a Muslim woman. Now the government of France is sentencing them to remain at home.

Not just Muslims - Sikhs, Orthodox Jews - and some Christians. I suppose Hindu girls with the red dots on their foreheads are supposed to take them off, too.

I think it's a grotesque violation of their human rights.
