Nothing like a good ol sham election to keep the dictatorship modern democracy alive!

Cost of living is pretty low there but not that low. Lots of impoverished communities.

So violate their faith for school? That’s not an ideal solution

So what is the solution for religious families then? Are they forced to private institutions/homeschool?

France may be good for not respecting a religion and disallowing abuse of religious systems that would attack the freedom of non-religious/minority-religious citizens, but are going to the opposite side of this problem. Abayas don’t hurt anyone and, from what I can tell/correct me if wrong, are used as a religious observation. France is going out of their way to impose restrictions on elements that are generally harmless that these people may see as a religious necessity, attacking the freedom of religious citizens. There has to be a balance and they’re off on the other arc of the pendulum swing here.
