This week, we focus on  a recurring debate in France: should uniforms be obligatory in public schools? The latest installment of this controversy came after the far right National Rally proposed a bill to make uniforms compulsory in France’s public schools. It was rejected in the lower house of parliament but not before getting a surprising boost from the first Lady Brigitte Macron. So what’s the situation in France? Many want to “bring back” the uniform, but there has actually never been a law regarding school uniforms, not so long as France has been a Republic. So why does the issue come up time and time again?
