In France, you can't attend public school if you insist on wearing a yarmulke, a hijab, or any other marker of religion. Some people defend this by saying "Christians can't wear crosses either, so it's fair." This false equivalence is, of course, nonsense.
No major branch of Christianity requires laypeople to wear crosses, so the policy inconveniences zero Christians while impeding educational access for followers of other religions.
Here's the thing: if French public schools ever start having classes on Sundays and on Easter Monday and on Christmas and on All Saints Day and on Ascension Day and on Whit Monday and other Christian holy days, then we can talk about how even-handedly secular French schools are. Until then, if they're going to accommodate Christianity in countless ways, they can damn well tolerate other religions' needs, especially ones involving nothing more onerous than a relatively small piece of cloth.

To be effective, critiques of Hindutva must incorporate the ideas of the Pasmanda Muslim movement
The Pasmanda political discourse pushes for the unity of backward and Dalit groups across religious divisions, unlike a simplistic Hindu vs Muslim binary.

CW: Strange New Worlds S2 Ep2 spoiler, bigotry
Oh my goodness what an amazing episode! I was half expecting nothing but horribly tense courtroom drama from start to finish (and also I would like to see them actually visit a strange new world from time to time) but it actually had me crying several times because it was so heartfelt.
And the way it highlighted the problems faced by marginalised groups such as lgbtq+ people, it will hopefully make some misguided Trek fans at least think a bit about their bigotry, and stop some people from getting misguided in the first place.
Also Neera's outfits were gorgeous.
