A step too far?

Paris has a new law: no veils allowed! This is a kindof follow-up law to the 'no religious clothing items (e.g.: crosses, veils, kepis...) in schools.

Although I can understand them not wearing a veil to places and events where they need to be identified, why this religious oppression? (Hear me out, because as a woman I hate veils, etc.). I don't think it fair that these women get tickets because they wear a veil to the grocery store, whilst others can still wear their religious symbols.

What do you think? Is this too far?
