I disagree. I think the religious indoctrination of children is bad.

In my opinion the weirdest part is, that they are banning hijabs, but circumcision on babies is somehow still legal. Seems like we're mixing our priorities a bit.

i never said if i think it is bad or good. just that a nation state should not be legislating it via side channel controls like school “policy” but instead, if care was had, through child laws.
