A Sikh school is opening its doors in a Paris suburb for the first time on Saturday in the wake of tougher French laws on religious dress.How can you take a draconian stand on something like turbans... while simultaneously ceding large urban areas of the country to the Car-B-Q crowd?
The special school in Bobigny was set up after secularisation laws in 2004 prevented Sikh boys from wearing their traditional turbans in class.
The French laws ban the wearing of prominent religious symbols such as Muslim headscarves or Sikh turbans in public places like offices or schools.
Do they vote... do they hold a seance?
I'm thinkin', maybe they flip a coin.
