For most families in the Eurosphere, if a boy wanted to go to school in a dress instead of pants, they would probably face significant social pressure to not do so.
Clearly this means that boys are being FORCED to wear pants and we should ban them from being worn.
/s
Unless someone can prove that some harm comes from wearing a frickin' headscarf, this law is just racist bullshit.

Governments and telling people how they're allowed to dress. Name a more iconic duo.

Religion and telling people how they’re allowed to dress predates governments.
All religion should be banned.

Judaism and male genital mutilation.

It's a little weird to call out specific religions here for behavior they all engage in. Or at least all of the abrahamic ones, not as familiar with others.
Anyway yeah religions are bad but as long as we live in a world where they are voluntary and government is not then I'm going to be a bit more upset about one than the other.

Neos, says the law is a "clear commitment to gender equality", but critics say it will fuel anti-Muslim feeling...
If a religion is fundamentally incompatible with gender equality it deserves "anti... feelings."
That goes for all religions. No reason to single out Muslims.

from a personal choice? sure. you can be a douche to these peoples.
but if my religion says “no beards” and a gov agency say “must beards” .. what right does a gov have in controlling my choice? completely inappropriate.

That's very different. Its more like a religion telling men to always wear gloves for modesty reasons and the government saying that you can't wear them in school.
The reason "for modesty" and only one gender is kind of important. That makes this a gender equality issue.
The law still feels a bit weird, but Islam has to modernize, just like Christianity is doing. Both have a lot of work left and this government is probably more islamophobic than they care about equality.

Because your religion never stops at you. History has shown that every chance it can, religion will try to control peoples lives.
It’s like being anti-capitalist. Wanting a revolution would infringe your freedom to choose to exist in a capitalist society, but everyone else would be better off for it.

Religious freedom or gender equality, apparently you can only choose one.

My grandfather believed in a Hildegard von Bingen based religion that got him convinced putting rocks under his pillow and following a strict monotonous diet would be good for his health. He died.
“Men will continue to commit atrocities as long as they continue to believe absurdities.” ―Voltaire
All religion should be a thing of the past. If banning something is the best course of action I don't know, but currently it would be something I'd vote yes to if I could; unless someone convinces me otherwise without using ad hominems, nonsensical claims such as being racist, or any other fallacies. I simply despise anything that makes humanity dumber.
To consider antireligion instead of atheism
“The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore, I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.” ―https://www.arscyni.cc/file/antireligion.html
