It questions the hijab bans\u2019 compatibility with religious freedom and human rights by asking these young women to unveil themselves in order to be accepted and integrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister of Education also claimed that banning the veil in schools was preventing the radicalization of young girls. This attitude reflects a patronizing view, assuming that Muslim women do not know what is right for them, need to be told how to be free, or must be saved from their own \u201cbackwards\u201d culture and religion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pupils will be banned from wearing abayas, loose-fitting full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in France&#8217;s state-run
