^ridiculous.
Anyone that tells you what you can wear anywhere is fucked imo. (...) people should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want, anywhere they want to.

You know it's not that simple.
Plenty of businesses have a dress code for example. It actually happened in france when a muslim woman was hired to care for young children. She started to wear a full islamic veil and refused to take it down when asked to, so she was fired. She went to court and lost, because laicity (in france at least) is not applicable in private businesses.
The school thing is different, it's pretty much tied to how we consider school in france. i'm not gonna talk about the history of the republican school, but basically it's supposed to be the place where origin, wealth or religion shouldn't matter. Universities have a higher degree of independance, and some allow to wear muslim scarf or kippas, etc.
As far as i'm concerned, i don't care if someone working in an office on the phone/computer all the time wears a hijab or some fucking flipflops. But when you actually have to deal with customers, businesses have every right to ask you to respect a certain dress code.
The beach thing is fucking dumb. A beach is a public place, and you should be able to wear anything you want. As long of course as it's respecting laws about decency, etc. (and even that, it's pretty lax in france lol.. boobs out everywhere and nobody cries about it)
The whole thing is just a way for the french right to get some public attention. I never ever saw a burkini in my whole life, and i live 30 mins away from one of the nicest beach in france. I also never saw any burqa, saw some hijabs, but not much. I went to school with a girl that used to wear a scarf over her hair, but could still see ears and neck. 99,9% of arab girls i see in the streets are definitely like
that left one.
But yeah, unemployment, economic growth, etc.. let's not talk about that. Let's talk about what women wear. After all presidential elections are next year, gotta instill the fear of the foreign in the elector's heart. (does that remind you of anything..?
