I did not know what an abaya is, but it did not matter to know this is a stupid ban. Just let people wear whatever the fuck they want to wear.

The thing is some children do not have a say in the clothes they get. Those children still deserve the same conditions in school
You know, the solution to women being told what to wear is not to tell them that they cannot wear it.
"When you walk into a classroom, you shouldn't be able to identify the pupils' religion just by looking at them,"
Sir I'm sorry but a abaya doesn't prove someone is religious. You can wear one if you so please even if you're not Islam. It's just a dress.
Sure, and you an atheist could wear a cross and speak a prayer every morning. They just usually don't and until we can telepathically determine what someone actually believes such insignia are the best way to show support for religion.
But the abaya is not a religious symbol, it's literally just a fucking dress like any other, it's just what they wear typically in that part of the world. It's like saying that pants are a christian symbol because all Europeans wear pants, and Europe is majority christian.
Do you really think those girls wear abaya inside school not because of religion?
Is it a bad idea for me, a non-religious person, to wear one in solidarity? (As well as for privacy, sun protection, etc.)

I fail to see why not. It's just a dress. You shall wear whatever resonates with you.
It's not just a dress, unfortunately. It's a dress, strongly associated with female oppressive rules of Islam.
