For nearly two decades, public schools in France have barred students from wearing religious symbols. But the abaya—a long, cloak-like covering—was a gray area until recently.
By Noemie Bisserbe | Photographs by France Keyser for The Wall Street JournalPicking what to wear for school has become a headache for Nawel Moumen. She worries her preference for any loosefitting clothes will draw a rebuke as France expands the definition of what is unacceptable.
With the new school year about to start, President Emmanuel Macron's education minister banned the abaya. The government says it is responding to what it considers an alarming increase in the number of teenagers wearing religious outfits in school after watching social media videos encouraging them to challenge“I don’t feel like going to school anymore.
Opposition lawmakers say the move is a veiled attempt to court right-wing voters. Macron has struggled to govern the country since his pro-business party, Renaissance, lost last year the commanding majority that defined his first term in office.
