France's Education Minister yesterday unveiled a new Secularism Charter designed to keep religion out of French schools. According to
The Local, a
poster setting out the 15-point Charter of secular, Republican principles is to be posted prominently in every school. An example of an item in the Charter is:
Lessons are secular...No subject is a priori excluded from scientific and pedagogic questioning. No student can invoke their political or religious convictions, in order to dispute a teacher's right to address a question on the syllabus.
