All clothing and religious symbols are forbidden, so yes even the kipa and the mantilla are forbidden.

And generally speaking, there are per schools rules forbidding head coverings and jewelry, for example.

And we have to stop with this myth of the believer opressed by secularism. Religion is a cult before it is a dress code. The vast majority of believers don't mind.

I myself come from a Muslim family in France, and the only weirdos who insist on girls wearing veils are the same ones who tell their boys not to eat or sit next to girls at school. Wouldn't want to risk them marrying an apostate, that would be too bad, huh?
