BTW, current French law bars the wearing of yarmulkes and headscarves in French public schools. LePen would merely be preserving existing law in that circumstance.

Both of my grandmothers, neither one of them Muslim, wore headscarves at times. This has been both a Jewish and a Christian custom pretty much all along. Where do they suppose the Muslims got the idea? And why outlaw yarmulkes? To be "even handed" or something? Or is it just not French enough?

It's not like they're wearing burkhas.

Perhaps they should replaced with berets? ;)
