French law escalated from hijab bans to banning hijab-wearing mothers from school trips

Evidence

The Hijab Ban spurred the Face Covering Ban of 2011, and then, in 2019, another law that penetrated the private confines of Ibtissam’s home. In May 2019, the French senate passed legislation banning mothers who wear the hijab, like Ibtissam, from accompanying their children during school events and trips. … The new ban brands Muslim mothers as outcasts and undesirables in the minds of their sons and daughters, like Farah, who are trapped between the deeply politicized French classroom and their Islamic households. — Khaled A.
