Because France is sort of a laic country when it comes to education. No one is allowed to practice anything inside school or show any sign of any religion. Although this could be highly (and was) criticized because how are we suppose to show our diversity if we can't show our religion? Especially when you're at school. they didnt ban the hijab everywhere, only at school.

Head scarves are not forbidden in France. Any woman can wear a head scarf or Islamic veil in public. It is not authorized for civil servants, as they act on behalf on a neutral state.
There is a current discussion - ahead of the next elections - revolving about the issue of 'what are French values'. In that discussion some have proposed that the full veils (such as the Burqa, or as the Tchador) be banned in France, in public places.
The advocates of the ban include partisans of right-wing political parties, Muslim scholars stating that the full veil is not in line with the Kuran, or feminists arguing that the full veil hampers the progress of women towards gender equality.
There is no discussion regarding other Islamic veils which do not cover completely the face.

What is the reaction of federation of Islamic organisations in Europe concerning the banning of hijab in France?

The hijab is not banned. It is a quite common sight in the streets or shops in French cities. The niqab and the burkah are. That has been widely accepted: with great favor by the mainstream French population, which is defiant towards signs of proselytism; but also quite positively by a great number of the Muslim faithfuls, who in their majority deem full-face veils as inadapted and not part of their tradition. Muslims of North-African descent have traditionally worn less conservative scarves and veils and most of them are not comfortable with full-face veils, which they see as a statement against mainstream society but not as a evidence of true faith.


Should cristains wear a hijab?

Yes and Christians already do wear hijab. Hijab is simply a covering. Their 'hijab' covers what they consider to be their modesty. That generally varies with time and place. In some parts of the Christian world the hijab includes a head covering, but that is on the decline. For Western European Christians hijab covers most of the body, but does not include the hair, the cleavage or the legs up to the mid thigh. Christian women's hijab is more extensive than men's at present.
