I wasn't even looking at that part of the wording. That's wrong by itself, except that Christians can't wear crosses, so they are punishing themselves too. I would think that most Jews who care to wear a yamikah and tzizit would be going to a private school anyway, so I don't know how much they are affected by this.

But, the thing that hurts them is that this is a blatent attack on Islam. Not only that, but, as was pointed out on Nightline by two women who are both Liberal Muslims (they don't cover their hair, etc.), this actually forces the Muslims who choose to cover their heads to go to Muslim private schools, where there is a good chance that they will be exposed to, and possibly indoctrinated by, radical Islamic teachings.

That, and this is an attack on them as well, not just radical Islam. So, some of them may decide to choose to side with radical Islam over common sense.

What I would like to know is how many of these radical Islamists are citizens of France? The US as adopted a stricter policy towards non-citizens of late, and perhaps France would be wise to do the same.

I don't know. I just see this as fuel being added to a fire. And it won't belong before it explodes.
