Yes Neutay, Cathloic students were also barred from wearing cross, so where Sikh from wearing Turbans, and so were Jews from wearing kippah. Get your facts right. But the biggest protest came from Muslim community. Then the french government allowed Sikh to wear a small form of turban, catholics to wear a tiny cross as long as it was not visible, and muslim girls to wear just a small head scarf and not a burkha that covered from head to toe. But this did not go well with muslim community as they wanted to exercise all of their religious freedom. What they forgot was that France is a secular country with a big distinction between church and state, unlike USA. I guess they should have leant this before migrating to France.
