Secularism in France

In France the kids aren't allowed to go to school with religious symbols to school. If they do they may be expelled from school. I agree with this stand on religious symbols by the government of France. One reason is that it allows for less prejudgment. It allow for everyone not to have there clothes to be a disadvantage in games and sports. Last it gives kids a chance to were what they want not what they are forced to where.

Have you ever been walking in a city and seen someone wearing there turbine. Do thoughts like What if this guy is a terrorist." This occurs to me sometimes because I see the turbine and think of Afghanistan and the terrorist attacks that occur there often. This prejudgment can cause people to become violent. Its just like an animal being scared they normally become vicious and attack. I think we as humans have this trait. We can feel cornered by people that look threatening so we may strike out at them. When people cant were those clothes and symbols it takes that threatened feeling out of the flow.

When it comes to extra curricular activities like gym class kids wearing a robe aren't going to preform to there full potential. This is when traditional clothes get in the way. Everyone should be able to have a equal chance at being successful in what they do and when there clothes get in the way that becomes an unnecessary disadvantage. This disadvantage can cause kids not to be active and healthy because there clothes are not proper for being active.

Last thing is that kid are being forced to wear these religious symbols that get in the way and also cause them to miss out on friends. No one should have to where what they don't want to. the worlds clothing style is changing and kids should be able to change and keep up with the fashions so they fit in. kids deserve the right to choose what they want for themselves not what the parents want for them.

These are the reasons I believe that this law benefits everyone. I may seem to take freedom away but really it only adds freedom. It allows kids not to be forced to wear there religious clothing. It also give a freedom of less violence. This law is a great law that allows better living conditions for the whole public.
