See, now I know you either just didn't read it or didn't understand. It applies to all religious symbols, not just a hijab. Can you argue it's unfair to non western religions like the above commenters? Yes and probably should. But what you said is wrong. They are not "banning something so petty like the hijab".

They are.., no other religion really has something like this like one of the comments here said, ~~almost~~ all cases are about hijabs

Also how tf is hijab a ‘religious symbol’ anyway? It’s just a piece of clothing which is no different than those caps you find in jackets or hoodies

I see no point in doing something so stupid like this, why not ban cigarettes instead of discriminating for wearing a piece of clothing?

Edit: kinda misunderstood your comment, you called them out for discriminating non western religions, sorry its 4AM and i am cranky AF
