I think we've got some hypocrites here.

I'm sure that in the French Charter of Rights and Freedoms, just like in Canada and the US and Australia and NZ and Britain and every other civilized nation in the world, it says somewhere ar ule about the right to religion. Now if I wanted to, I would like to believe that I could wear a huge ass sombrero with a framed 8X10 picture of jesus hanging from it.

If they want to get rid of this stuff in school, you can't say its ok for you to wear a cross, but its not ok for you to wear a head dress or whatever. If they want it out of schools, they either say nothing religious is allowed in schools, or anything is allowed.

I went to Catholic schools all my life so praying and crosses and such wern't that big of a problem. But i'll be darned if someone is going to tell me not to wear one thing while allow someone else to wear something similar.

Either ban it all, and give a good reason for, or shut up.

And VAC and others sound like they've got some racial issues.
