World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Children shouldn't have to uphold any religion imo. It's tough here though as it's also their freedom to wear whatever so I don't think that ban is the best way to approach this issue here.
Crucifixes and yarmulkes (also known as kippas) are also banned, yes.
The other commenter was saying 'crosses are allowed if they're not too big.'
Which is it?
They are banned but it is not exactly the same. Those are religious items. The abaya is a whole genre of clothing.
This is correct. Even if we don't necessarily agree with why they're choosing to wear it, saying that they're outright not able to is completely unacceptable.
They are not choosing shit. They are being forced to wear them by their parents. It's indoctrination and abuse
What? None of them are choosing to wear it?
It's all being forced upon them?
What about the government now literally forcing them to wear what is 'acceptable'? That just gets a pass, huh?
Lol, lemmyers. Can't expect rational trains of thought from you, I guess.
This is dumb. I grew up going to a mainstream private Jewish school. We had to wear yarmulkes.
Every child grows up in the guidance of parents, and everyone thinks someone's lifestyle is abuse. Did you parents feed you meat? Yes? That's abuse. No? That's abuse.
Sure, they key here being private school. They’re regulating public schools.
Funny, children don't have a choice when they go to public school.
This means that they should be even more accepting of different cultures than private schools. You're literally forced to go there if you're poor.
The point was about indoctrination.
You can't call a Muslim upbringing indoctrination unless you also call Jewish, Christian, and secular agnostic upbringings indoctrination too. Which might be true, but then you're just describing parenting.
