The ban doesnt just effect Muslims, also Jews and Christian's.
if everyone is affected, why is this racist? I could understand if it would only affect muslims. Than would indeed be racist.

I'm all for the ban, school is not the place for religion. In fact i also would like to see a stop religion as a school subject, I would like to see it replaced by a general "ethic" school subject, not influenced by a certain kind a religion.
