French state schools do not permit displays of religious icons or dress. There have been a number of cases where pupils have been suspended for going against this. What do you think- is this the way forward- is a secular approach discriminatory or is it best in a multicultural society as a means to avoiding conflict?
Now there's a difficult issue if ever there was one!
Personally I'm not in favour of banning individual displays of religious symbols or icons per se in schools. However I don't think religion should be an excuse to break general school rules.
If a school has a policy that jewelry isn't allow to be worn at school, then I don't see why children with Christian parents should get special dispensation to wear jewelry depicting a cross. A more obvious example is that children of Sikhs should not be allowed to carry a Kirpan (sword/dagger) at school!
