I'm all for judging the policy, I'm not judging them for starting to react. |
From that article:

Mr Lisnard confirmed to local media that other religious symbols such as the kippah (Jewish skullcap) and the cross would still be permitted, and the ban would not apply to the veil that some Muslim women wear over their hair.

So...a Muslim woman could wear a normal wetsuit and a separate head veil if she wanted?
I don't think this ban was thought out very well.
