High Schools especially

school in central France has hailed back to the Middle Ages this week, after forcing Jewish and Muslim students who do not eat pork, as well as vegetarians, to wear red and yellow discs around their necks.
The Piedalloues primary school in Auxerre, in Burgundy, forced eighteen students to wear the discs, in order to ensure that cafeteria workers did not give them pork or meat.
The practice was withdrawn this week after outraged parents and local officials compared the practice to wearing yellow stars, as mandated by the Nazis, the Telegraph reports.
The mayor immediately ordered the practice be halted after one day, Christian Sautier, director of communications in the mayor’s office, confirmed.
“When we learned about it, we fell out of our chairs,” he added.
France has a long history of forcing Muslims and Jews to wear distinct garb. Along with the yellow star, the discs are perhaps most reminiscent of the "Jew hats" in Italy and France during the 11th and 12th centuries; the pointed caps were mandated by the Fourth Council of the Lateran of 1215.

Yep, you have to tell the monitors to watch for special people....because the special people themselves (even kids) can’t monitor their own habits or lifestyles. Says a lot about behavior and patterns of the parents. I could see SouthPark making two or three episodes out of this deal.
They’ll replace it by branding numbers on their foreheads, although that may not work too well with the Muslim girls.
Quelle idiots!
They outlawed Burkhas. Perhaps a brand on the cheek will be visible with a chadour, though.
To be fair, it's hard for the untrained eye to "monitor" the presence of, e.g., pork products which might be "lurking" in a stew.
But rather than requiring the Muslims and Jews to wear a distinctive marking, they should instead simply mark those foods containing pork products.
Regards,
Here is actually what the 4th Lateran Council said:
A difference of dress distinguishes Jews or Saracens from Christians in some provinces, but in others a certain confusion has developed so that they are indistinguishable. Whence it sometimes happens that by mistake Christians join with Jewish or Saracen women, and Jews or Saracens with christian women. In order that the offence of such a damnable mixing may not spread further, under the excuse of a mistake of this kind, we decree that such persons of either sex, in every christian province and at all times, are to be distinguished in public from other people by the character of their dress -- seeing moreover that this was enjoined upon them by Moses himself, as we read. They shall not appear in public at all on the days of lamentation and on passion Sunday; because some of them on such days, as we have heard, do not blush to parade in very ornate dress and are not afraid to mock Christians who are presenting a memorial of the most sacred passion and are displaying signs of grief. What we most strictly forbid however, is that they dare in any way to break out in derision of the Redeemer. We order secular princes to restrain with condign punishment those who do so presume, lest they dare to blaspheme in any way him who was crucified for us, since we ought not to ignore insults against him who blotted out our wrongdoings.
It specified some variety of distinctive dress, but not specifically pointed caps...
Pretty soon they will fire the ovens back up.
When were the French putting Jews in ovens?
Vichy French were Nazi collaborators.
Collaborators - yes, sending jews to the German death-camps, yes. But they didn’t operate any gas-oven death centers themselves. One can say they were complicit, but not that they actually carried out the despicable deed
And how many French people died as well?
Was there a group of French fighting the Nazis?
It was a rhetorical point about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe as a whole. If you choose to ignore that so be it.
Don’t cry babies !
I am french ( so make a little effort to read and understand my english or speak french or latin yourself )
Middle-Age was way greater than the apostate time we are leaving in with many betrayers with no faith ( christian i mean ) and no loyalty ( a sign of basic moral sens ) .
You know , or should know here , that most of the muslims are , more or less , assumed invaders with a political , “cultural” ( if destruction of CIVILISATION can be called a culture ) and “religious” ( if islam can be considered as a religion ) agenda .
So you are shocked by “red disks” which are designed , according to the will of the parents ( jews or muslims ) , to know what kind of food each child will receive .
Personnaly i don’t like , as a catholic conservative , that concession made to stupid and regressive beliefs about food because it’s a concession made to the islamic agressive ideology ( and their jew cousins and , more or less , ennemies ).
I consider that we shoud not make any concession to islam so that they understand they will not be able to settle and spread their influence , behaviours and power in the “western” formerly christian world ( and everywhere else )
Did the writter of that article ever visit the splendid cathedral , abbaye , castle , hospitals and universities of the so-called “Middle-Age” ? Did he hear about the birth and development of our sciences and arts assuming the greek and roman heritage ?
I am a little bit baffled by that kind of superficial reactions and statements here
You chose to immediately reference the Holocaust, and thus you lost any point you were attempting to make.
As to the article, making any religious or ethnic group wear “special” clothing is a terrible idea.
[You chose to immediately reference the Holocaust, and thus you lost any point you were attempting to make]
Bull
Sorta like Planned Parenthood and Democrats (& some Republicans). One can say they’re complicit, but not that they actually carry out the despicable deed.
PLANNED BUTCHERHOOD! - Shout it from the rooftops!
Can’t find the age of the children. If these were very young children, I can understand the school’s need to ensure they’re not fed pork. Why not make everyone wear a name tag? Below the name, have dietary restriction statement - either yer or no. Can’t believe the school didn’t foresee the complaints they were going to get.
I’m in largely agreement with you, and sympathetic to the French in this case. However, breading only half of the post and not reading the original article (or reflecting on it) before posting is an unfortunate fad in FReepdom.
If people want a special diet for their kids they need to accommodate by making the relevant kids easy to identify. If this works for the people involved, everyone not in the local should keep their noses out to the local business.
