Incorrect.

It seems (from the articles and interviews I've read) that there are only a small percentage of women who wear a head veil. Those that do say they wear it out of choice, something like 40% are converts too.

Its fine for France to try and keep it out of school, they do that to every religious expression so they are evenly expressing their secular values. However, the banning of all public displays of religion is not included in this proposal and therefore is specifically targeting Muslim women. They are currently required to remove face covering at banks and for a couple other identity verifications.

In my opinion, there is no need for this law. Its simply a conscious or unconscious attempt by France to deal with its growing Muslim minority. We've been talking about doing similar things with the Mexican flag in the southwestern states and thats just out of fear of one of our growing minorities.
