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.
