UNLESS, it goes against the laws of the state.
The laws of the state say : religion is a personnal matter, that should NOT be mixed with the State.
Public school are run by the state.
Hence, no religion in public school.


Some are able to understand the concept of neutral ground and keeping personnal opinions outside state-run institutions.
Others just shout "fascists" and claim there is religious oppression.


I disagree with you I read than letter in a Pakistian newpaper which state Christian and Jewish holiday are school holiday but muslim holiday are not school holiday
which show French public school arenot free of Religion.
In alot of French Public school than large christian cross is on display they should be remove to make than unreligious school.

I personality think the french are abunch of religious racist who want to discriminate against the Islam without appearing to do so.

First once in elem school we have than Muslim Woman teacher who taught for afew year. She was a very good teacher, it isnot what a teacher wear as religious sychol but they abilities to teach.

By that logic, kids shouldn't be educated any moral beliefs at all, until they are grown up and can make those decisions by themselves.


Because moral beliefs (i.e. something is right or wrong, without the explaination to it) have a direct connection to everyday life. Metaphysical questions are better explained when they're older. For the same reason you don't explain young kids about sex. It doesn't (well at least shouldn't ) concern then at that point.

Actually, the best would be to have them participate in an open discussion, and not settle for the authoritarian indoctrination. I believe it's wrong, even in this age. My parents always reasoned with me as a child, and I think it made me a better person.

Religion has nothing to do with the coercion - coercion is forcing someone to do something. Thus, coercion can ONLY be achieved through physical force (using words to persuade someone is obviously not coercion, because then affecting someone else's actions AT ALL would be coercion). In Saudi Arabia, it is against the law (and the law is backed up by force, by definition), and thus it is coercion. If there are merely social repercussions, it is NOT coercion.

Depends on what qualifies as "sexual harassment"

I think it shouldn't be a seperate category - it should be treated just like any other form of harassment.

On a final note, I'd like to point out that the fact that some people may be "persecuted" for not doing something, does not mean that other people no longer have the right to do it.

Yes, our holidays are the christian ones. Not because we're religious, but simply because, until a recent date, we had about 100 % of christians in the country.
It's a cultural habit. At first, before separation between Church and State, the holidays were religious. After, it was just because we were used to it.

And in fact, there is no Jewish holidays in France. Tough luck. Better chose more wisely your sources next time.

Glad to see we finally agree. The problem is society (or rather, a marginalized part of our society), and the headscarf is but a mere symptom of the problem. That's why I think the law does solve nothing.

OTOH, I strongly advocate, for example, the destruction of our ghettoes and their replacement by human-scale housings scattered across the residential areas. Social mixity is very good, and that will give an opportunity to these girls to actually encounter people who won't treat them like dirt.
Useless to say, our right-wing government pretends to agree, but it cut the Housing budget by 7% this year - AFAIK, it's the budget that has suffered the most

Since this extreme chauvinism mostly belongs to the marginal parts of the society, I think the State should do an effort to insure a better integration, to simply give them an incentive to feel French.
Like, for example, actually enforcing anti-discrimination laws, having the public media treat them like any other Frenchmen, open more mediatic high-posts to coloured people (we have exactly ONE major Arabic journalist), etc. Maybe even acknowledge they have brought some things that do belong to the French culture (the French-ghetto rap scene, for example, used to be one of the most active in the world)

The State can have a huge role in motivating people to drop the horrible chauvinistic crap, or to prevent people from being charmed by religious zealots. Of course, the current law will not help it, as it will only stigmatize headscarved women, and continue creating the rift in our society we desperately need to heal.

We found the agreement there at last.

I think the State should not forbid these beliefs (I support an absolute and exception-less freedom of thought), but it should:

1. forbid the illegal consequences on acting of such beliefs: raping a girl is illegal, no matter what your beliefs on the nature of women are (in rape cases, quite a few people argue "the way she was clothed, she asked for it" )

2. Do everything it can to make these beliefs as unappealing as possible, like destroying the geographic concentration that leads to this counter-culture, and making the "ordinary" French identity actually appealing, both job-wise and identity-wise. The day the French society accepts the idea that it doesn't lose anything with its important Muslim minority is the day we'll progress dramatically.

Wrt #2, I'm not sure we are in full agreement. It depends on what sort of things the government would do. It shouldn't make those beliefs unappealing in the sense of removing equal protection under the law, or giving benefits to those with different beliefs.

To be fair, the commission that "thought" about the anti-headscarf law advocated the introduction of a Jewish holiday and a Muslim holiday is the school's schedule.

I never said Alien control the US government. There are alien sent by God to save mankind from itself, they are estable the best Intelligence grathing network on this planet. We are haveing so much fun laughting at the mess America is makeing in Iraq.

That Intelligence Network gave Pakistian the invasion plan of India when India sent other 1 million man to the Pakistian boarder for over than year before they withdraw they man. There was than key outpost India want to captive before they invade Pakistian. They sent 1200 special forcemen to capute it, the plan reveal where the helicopty would drop then off. In the first minute of landing heavy mortor and machinegun fires killed 800 of the attacker. When India sent some jetfighter to aid in the attack Pakistian Jet Fighter show up with groundbase SAM readry to fire. The India PM called off the Invadeing plan as the element of surpire was lost, Nuclear War between Pakistian and India was avoid which would have lead to glodal nuclear war.

The Intelligence grathing network I talk about detect that Iran and Pakistan have delvolp nuclear weapon in 1987 for very good reason, India have nuclear weapon allready than was alway treathen Pakistan with then and Iran was fighting than long war with America proxy Iraq, America gave Iraq Nerve and Mustard gases to use against Iran and America encought Iraq to use then when they start to use then on their own people and on Iran and we lower the threadhold on use of chemical weapon in general and our recontly effect to ruin than thready ban the manufactoring of all chemical weapons and bio weapon with than inspection regine our bio tech companies didnot like. This Intelligence network have no bias like America show like it allright for Israel to have nuclear weapon and nerve gas agent but not Iran to have nuclear weapon or for India to have nuclear weapons but not Pakistan to have nuclear weapons. The alien Government with represent from Iran and Pakistan visit the alien testing planets where nothing live anyway we tested they nuclear weapon for then. Iran feeling threaten by Israel nuclear weapons so they want they own in case Israel decide to use their own they would be surpise that Iran have then too.

The USSR gave Iran poison gases to use back on Iraq as the USSR was worry about allowing Iraq to get away with their use of poison gases without it being use back on then also.

Not with so many christians. It's just not practical - you have to give time off from school for religious holidays (I assume it's the same as in the US) and so you'd be missing the majority of the school (even with all of the immigration, native French still outnumber immigrants, right?)
