Maybe France deserves a little bashing...

If they go ahead with their stupid plan to ban religious symbols in state schools, including headscarves for Muslims, yarmulkes for Jews, and large (whatever that means) crosses for Christians.

I think I understand the problems they're trying to address — how do you integrate a religious minority? How do you prevent culture clashes? — but this is totally the wrong way to go about it. You can't drive differences underground — not without paying a heavy price.
