Chirac to Seek Law Banning Head Scarves

My Way News [1]:

“PARIS (AP) – French President Jacques Chirac said Wednesday he will ask parliament to pass a law banning Islamic head scarves and other religious insignia in public schools, a dramatic and potentially explosive move aimed at shoring up the nation’s secular tradition.”

Chirac said he would push for a law to be enacted in time for the school year that begins next autumn. Islamic head scarves, Jewish skullcaps and large crucifixes would fall under the ban.

Ah, there’s the socialist solution; remove religion from public life.
