ban of Muslim clothing in schools

A controversy has broken out at la rentrée, the start of the new school year, over a government decision to ban from state schools the abaya, a full-length robe worn by some Muslim girls for modesty. To defenders of a strict version of French secularism, it is a measure necessary to protect the republic from religious interference. To people in countries with a tradition of liberal multiculturalism, the ban looks like an unacceptable infringement of the right to religious expression. Do you support the ban ?
