PARIS (AP) — This was the week that schoolchildren in one Paris suburb got a stark choice at the cafeteria: pork or nothing at all. Chilly-Mazarin joined a handful of towns run by right-leaning mayors which have ended a practice of offering a substitute for students forbidden by their religion from eating pork. The decisions have come amid increased discussions in France about its secularist ideals following the terror attacks in January that were blamed on French Islamic extremists — a discussion critics say has been hijacked by anti-Muslim forces on the far right.
On Wednesday, the Socialist government issued unusually direct criticism against the schools that have ended the pork substitutes as it was training dozens of appointees to mediate tense questions about the role of religion in schools and in public life. In back-to-back speeches, the education and interior ministers walked the country's increasingly narrow line on religion in schools, with the unspoken threat of Islamic extremism hovering over the auditorium in Paris' tony 16th arrondissement.
Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said teachers at schools have to impart the secularist ideal, but "not a secularism that is a declaration of war against a religion, as we see when a mayor here or there decides that in the name of a so-called secular ideal, children will be forced to eat pork or skip school lunch..."

The French showing more smarts and more backbone than the American government?
We must have passed through a worm hole and exited in Bizarro World where everything is reversed.
They can bring in Peanut Butter-n-jelly sandwiches. And, if they are allergic, just a jelly sandwich. Worked for millions of kids at one time, can work again.
Send them back to their islamo dungholes and let them eat sand.
Bring your own damned lunch!
Who knew that pork could become the weapon of choice in dealing with the Islamic invasion of the Western world?
All hail the Duroc swine breed! Those red hogs (believed to be of West African origin) are prolific, producing as many as twenty-four young from one breeding pair in a year’s time, and the young themselves able to reproduce at six months of age. Talk about compound interest, NO bank or even the most vast Ponzi scheme could produce that rate of return, and it is all real.
We can produce new swine even faster than Muslims can reproduce. If every Muslim that came to Europe was confronted with the presence of ten swine, they would soon retreat.
Not much pork in Palestine.
In spite of all the hand wringing, Europe is far from over.
Far from over.
Far from over.
First the people will kill their leaders, hopefully in a political sense.
But kill them they will.
Then they will move on to the easy targets, Muslims.
Watch out when the French start to cry “Aux Barricades” life will get extremely tough for Muslim invaders. The French will kill you quickly when they get going.
“The French showing more smarts and more backbone than the American government?”
They don’t have a Muslim terrorist running their country.
Tough S. They give normal people a choice: convert to the ROP or get your neck sliced. They should be given no choice.
Why not eat pork or provide your own school lunch?
What happened to an apple, a sandwich, and a cookie lunch provided by the school child's parents?
Lordy!
Our welfare brood sows can't even do that!
And for that we are eternally grateful.
