MODERATORS
I don't claim to really understand what the purpose of state atheist policies is, perhaps someone can ELI5 It me, but at least It seems fair honestly, as:
If it was a ban explicitly on Muslim headscarves it'd be discriminatory. Another question is whether this will be enforced in equal measure on a white kid wearing a cross though...
When I was a kid (1970s & 80s US), openly wearing religious symbols to school was a little weird, but it wasn’t against the rules. They were just another piece of jewelry or clothing. It amazes me that a reasonable and evenly applied dress code needs a ruling from a human rights court.
