Interesting place France for a Jew, Imagine having to go to school with the Catholics because the Sand Nazi's have overrun the public schools.
Talk about being between the Guillotine and the Oven...
Around here smart Middle Easterners who might have an illegal or two in the extended family send their kids to a Catholic school in the community because ~ lo and behold ~ they never ask for proof of residency in the county, nor do they ask other prying questions.
So, in effect, we have Moslems who send their kids to a Catholic school to avoid the man. I would imagine there are folks in France who do the same.
