PARIS: French schools sent dozens of girls home for refusing to remove their abayas – an over-garment from the shoulders to the feet worn by Muslim women – on the first day of the school year, a government minister said today.
The move gladdened the political right but the hard-left argued it represented an affront to civil liberties. If they showed up at school again wearing the dress there would be a “new dialogue”, the minister said.
