> There’s a bit more to the story than you may think here... you also aren’t allowed to be homeschooled. It’s illegal.
I believe this isn't correct. Homeschooling is legal in France, although restricted. You need to be able to prove your kids are receiving a proper education.
> They ban religious practices for minors (wearing hijabs, for instance).
I also think this is incorrect. Religious signs are forbidden in public school for students and teachers alike (as France is a secular country), but there's no law preventing minors practicing religion.
Ah fair. perhaps I was thinking Germany (where your child can be removed). France still has regular inspections, can be denied and you have a curriculum you must adhere to (at least tests / categories).

If you call a religiously important piece of clothing a "religious sign" then technically that's true, but not really
French view is that religion has no place in school or public administration. There's a clear separation between religion and state, including public schools. That being said, the government has no matter to forcing spiritual beliefs or clothes in private space.
