I think the thought is... they're good at discriminating?
friendormate saidWell I think it is discrimination BUT..... only because I think all suits should be banned in swimming pools and we should only be allowed in swimming nude.
crownroyal117 saidAs far as I know, and i'm not very smart, the influx of muslims in france has caused somewhat of a cultural backlash. Either that or they have super strict pool standards.

Wearing a "burkini" certainly fits "public display". Head scarfs, and I suppose exposed crucifixes, are also discouraged in schools. This is the product of centuries of state supported religion, to simplify. France has always welcomed immigrants as long as they are willing to become completely French. Many of the new immigrants resist this, thus the conflict/
