I don’t think you’re putting enough thought into what it means to be forced to do something. Girls in France are forced by their elders to wear the hijab. People around the planet are forced to do things according to a religious code that violently oppresses free will and freedom of expression. France has done the right thing, it has allowed girls to choose, unfortunately this has led to their parents and others who make choices for them to choose instead to force them to adhere to a strict religious code and keep them out of School, and the public. Anything that forces you to adhere to a code by means of force means a lack of free will. Now, you have free will to violate that code, but the consequences of a young woman choosing not to wear the hijab could be life-threatening. That is not free will. That is inhumane terrorism
