Kids on a school bus bullying a Sikh boy for wearing a turban. 

Sikhs are honestly so nice I don’t think I’ve ever come across a horrible one

It’s been my experience that Muslims, not extremist ones, tend to be very kind people.

Kids are arseholes – it’s not proof this lot is racist, they just know how to push buttons.

I hate kids.

lol he’s gonna have to deal with this shit until he’s out of high school if they’re as bad as the kids i knew

1. Sikhs aren’t Muslim

2. This is actual proof that they are racist. No question about it. Stop with the ‘kids will be kids’ bs.

3. What was the point in specifying “not the extremist ones” as if there aren’t Extremists in every religion and Extremists that are of no religion? Why do people still associate Muslims with Extremists?

4. I’ve seen this video so many times & it’s all over the internet. Did these kids get in any trouble over this? My guess is probably not

But…but I thought all Muslims were supposed to be barbaric sexists from the Stone Age.

Oh wait.

I don’t really get how so many people are thinking I’m saying there are absolutely 0 problems for women in these countries because of this. Like, of fucking course there are issues that need addressing. But you know who’s not helping? All you people who act like all Muslims hate all women and can’t even see a woman without stoning them to death, or whatever bullshit you message me. All you people who think you know what’s best for Muslim women when your picture of them is solely what you see on the news and in the movies. And all you people that perpetuate more hateful bullshit towards Muslim people.

A 15-year-old Muslim girl has been banned from class twice for
wearing a long black skirt seen as too openly religious for secular France, in a case that has sparked an outcry.

The girl was stopped from going to class earlier this month by the
headteacher who reportedly felt the long skirt “conspicuously” showed
religious affiliation, which is banned in schools by France’s strict
secularity laws.

“The girl was not excluded, she was asked to come back with a neutral
outfit and it seems her father did not want the student to come back to
school,” local education official Patrice Dutot told AFP on Tuesday.

He admitted that the student always removed her veil before entering
school premises in the north-eastern town of Charleville-Mezieres, as is
specifically stipulated by law. 

According to the 2004 law that governs secularity in schools, veils,
the Jewish kippa or large Christian crosses are banned in educational
establishments, but “discreet religious signs” are allowed.

The student, identified as Sarah by local daily newspaper
L’Ardennais, told the paper that her skirt was “nothing special, it’s
very simple, there’s nothing conspicuous. There is no religious sign
whatsoever”.

Her story was trending on Twitter in France with the hashtag
#JePorteMaJupeCommeJeVeux, translated into English as “I wear my skirt
as I please”.

“If it’s worn by a ‘white’ person, it’s hippy chic, if it’s a Muslim, it becomes conspicuous,” one user tweeted.

But the regional education office hinted in a statement that wearing
the skirt could have been part of a concerted “provocation.”

“When it comes to concerted protest actions by students, which follow
other more visible incidents linked for instance to wearing the veil,
the secular framework for education must be firmly reminded and
guaranteed,” it said.

According to the CCIF Islamophobia watchdog, about 130 students were rejected from class last year for outfits deemed too openly religious.

@S_Kadawii: we can summarize this by: anaïs + long skirt = no problem; karima + long skirt = radical islamic extremism

@AntoineMokrane: recap: skirt too short, you’re being provocative, skirt too long, you’re being provocative

@kimbranine: insolent little muslim girls who want to go to school and have rights…

@Islametinfo: what’s the difference between these three women except for their religion?

@HamduliAllah: islamophobia and discrimination hidden behind secularity… since when is a skirt a religious symbol?
