French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools[edit]

I wonder if this article is comprehensive enough. David.Monniaux 10:12, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very good article, certainly the best discussion of this subject I have seen in English. It would be good to have more on the effects of the law. How many students have switched to private schools?
Difficult to know, since students may switch to private schools for a wide variety of reasons.
What effect has the law had on the perception of France in the Muslim world?
Have been there polls conducted on this issue? I heard there were protests in some Muslim countries, but were they the sign of a grassroot feeling?
How have Sikh immigration rates been affected?
There is, as far as I know, a very small proportion of Indians in the general population, and as far as I know very few Sikhs. This sounds very difficult to gauge.
The article also mentions that "70 conciliation procedures were started," but never explains the nature of these measures. I have also read that Belgium is considering copying the law, which might be mentioned. - SimonP 13:24, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Conciliation procedures probably consist in the kid and family being called before the head of the school and possibly other officials, with some frank discussion about the issue.

(Some of the discussion about costs moved to talk page.)

OK, top to bottom:

  1. One sentence is not a paragraph! Try to have two medium-size paragraphs for your intro
  2. Consider turning the list at the end of "The law" intro prose
  3. "Background" - less, longer paragraphs.
  4. "The creation of the law" - less, longer paragraphs.
  5. "Interpretation" - less, longer paragraphs. In addition, the list here should probably be turning into prose.
  6. "Public reaction" -
    Use ref/note or something for that embedded link
    Needs less,longer paragraphs
    Again, you should probably turn the list here into prose
  7. "Enforcement" - compared to other sections this is really short. Most likely needs lengthening
  8. "See also" - could benifit from organization - see Autism#See also

Hope that helps - take care!!! Ryan Norton T | @ | C 15:11, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
