Glad to see it!  Hopefully one day that symbol of oppression and patriarchy will be in the dust bin of history.

Bans on it are nothing but a pretext to an eventual state assault on religion in general in the name of some Secular Order that we'll be living under in thirty years. Congratulations.

The FN, with its close and loving ties to the French Catholic hard-right, most certainly won't be imposing a "Secular Order" any time soon.

Doesn't really matter, though, does it? The explicit reasons for things like this--"liberty", "fighting sexism", etc.--will only be advanced by religion's enemies in the coming years.  The left and the right frequently swap reasons for policies in favor of long-term goals based on circumstance.

France is a unique case.  They need it.
