In a major development, France has decided to ban students from wearing the "abaya," a loose-fitting full-length robe worn by Muslim women, in the country's state-run schools. According to French Education Minister Gabriel Attal, the rule is set to be effective across the country as soon as the new school year starts on September 4.
