Like... I dont know a whole lot about it, I'm an American and all I have seen is when news blows up. But it seems like the state is effectively forcing people to never display their religion on their person through garments or jewelry, and this seems like a core feature of many religions. This restricts religious freedom, and I guess... I'm an atheist, but I've been taught its wrong to restrict religion. Maybe my issue is just a xenophobia.

On the one hand, yes the ban would restrict a particular branch of islam and on the other, the reason why those women and girls wear those head coverings is atrocious and I am not going to feel too bad that France made a token effort to stop religion from forcing that on them. And ultimately, the mentality that justified that attire says something terrible about men in general too.
