The best idea really
would be to go the route of France and ban religious symbolism of any sort from schools, and also to adopt some of the Swedish model of school attendence being mandatory from a young age and faced with very harsh penalties if not. That way you have a neutral atmosphere that every child from the age of 4 or 5 is obliged to attend.

It's a good idea
But it's too confrontational.

It took many generations for Christianity to accept what Martin Luther nailed to the Wittenburg gate.

Over time, Islam will soften. Trying to force it into a shape that it is currently too rigid to adapt will just bring about resistance.

It should still be implemented
if people don't like it because it interferes with a patriachal culture that doesn't think original thought is necessary (or on behalf of a woman even possible) then that's too bad.

It amazes me that in the 21st Century we still have people like the Taliban running about.
