It introduces "A 30 per cent cap on the number of students in a class who do not have an adequate command of Italian, more tools for learning our language

Let's have a little bit of fascism, as a treat. I'll bet those "tools for learning [the Italian] language" are shit. As if conservatives would spend money to help foreigners.

I'd also say Giorgia Miloni is more than just a "little bit" of fascism. Her party knows what torch they carry.

She is a fascist, and if that infamous news clip is what it seemed, she’s a drug user too.

Not sure what to make of the limit to be honest. Where I live we’ve never had people in school who don’t speak the language.

Good, burqas and niqabs are never a choice. They're always imposed upon women and girls via violence, coercion, and intimidation. They're tools of oppression and should be banned everywhere.

burqas and niqabs are never a choice

Not after you've banned them, certainly

How dare you bring up women and girls when we are defending the right of their fascistic cults to dehumanize them?

"Choices are what I say they are."

People can wear clothing for any reason they want, not just the reasons you think they should be able to.

All theistic religions are harmful (not just Islam), but there are at least two major issues with oppressive laws like this:

  1. It's just Islamaphobia (racism). Singling out clothing that Muslims would wear and ignoring crosses or other religious clothing kind of gives away the underlying motivation for these bans.
  2. Policing this shit will always cause more harm than good. It would be authoritarian as fuck.

This law isn’t oppressive for kids forced to wear a fucking bag and indoctrinated into a cult. Religion is a monstrous evil.

There is no judgement mechanism that the state can employ that can accurately determine when a person is forced to wear something that they may choose to. Attempting to enforce such judgement will always cause more harm than any perceived good.
