Re: The proposal unleashed a storm of protest from teachers, psychologists and his political foes who said it would unfairly burden children with the guilt of previous generations and some could be traumatized by identifying with a Holocaust victim.
What LOONS!
(Unless it's death by second hand smoke or global warming)
I like Sarko, but this is lame. It will add fuel to the fire that he is a closest Zionist among the usual suspects.
Aren’t these “children” about 70-80 years old now? Based on France’s social system, the government has already adopted them.
The French get into an uproar over the dumbest things... But import millions of Muslims who end up rioting in the streets, and there is not a peep.
I think it’s a good idea. They are trying to wipe the memory of the Holocaust out in Europe. They don’t have to stew in it, but an exercise like this would be good for kids. Teach them how to show empathy.
Instead we traumatize kids with over the top fear-mongering about global warming and teach kids they should feel guilty about having a mommie and a daddy.
Considering my poor five-year-old was forced to pack lunches for “the homelss” in her kindergarten class yesterday, this at least has some honor.
I don’t know if he’s talking about all the children of the Holocaust or just the ones that were killed.
I have no idea if this is good politics or not in France. Maybe Sarkozy is trying to stop the reflexive pro-Arab/anti-Israel slant that is so prevalent in France and Europe generally.
My children are repeatedly made to feel guilty about slavery and past racial discrimination. Where are the “experts” to defend them?
Ah. So I assume they also oppose school projects based on scary climate change predictions?
No educational project should be constructed on death.

Martin Luther, Dwight Schrute (take your pick, they both said it).
This would sort of be the equivalent of having every black student in the U.S. "adopt" a white slave.
Fine, but make sure the kids have enough room to adopt another 19 victims of Communist Genocide from the last century.
I like Sarko better than ever, now.
What a difference an election makes. Think about it!

No, they aren’t 70 or 80 years old, they are DEAD, murdered by the Nazis after being sent to concentration camps by their French compatriots.
