Three Sikh students were expelled from school for refusing to remove their turbans, the first time Sikhs were forced out under a new law banning conspicuous religious signs and apparel in the classroom, their lawyer said.

Officials of the Louise Michel high school in Bobigny, northeast of Paris, on Friday decided to expel the three teenagers at disciplinary hearings ordered by a court, said lawyer Felix de Belloy.

French govt's decision about banning religious symbols is something against freedom of religion. Or perhaps they just want to make everyone there christian in due time by forcing such kind of flawful. So insecure guys!!! Have they heard of a bird named 'human rights' and 'freedom of expression'?

I think the reason why this may happen is because of the new law about not wearing your religious symbols and any other religious icons. Do you think it's right that people should hide their religious identity? Perhaps we should view the possible pros and cons.

Pros: Everyone is treated on an equal level. People aren't subjected to religious intolerance.

Cons: You cannot practice your religion out in public in that area. (i.e. Muslim prayer)

Can anyone come up with any more. I know there must be more for each pro and con.

Equality doesnt seem to be in French govt's agenda at all. What if an intolerant in Sikh disguise is president/prime minister there in France, and then pass a law for having everyone turbanned? All will be equal then, no discrimination, Is it?

They wouldn't make everyone wear a turban b/c that would be violating their own law. Their law is to not wear anything that shows affiliation to any faith. You're acting as if this has only happend to Sikhs. You're mistaken. It's happening to people of many religious affiliations. There was a Muslim girl who was expelled as well. As for Christians and people of other religions, it's easy to hide your faith, just hide your cross or whatever symbol under your shirt if you feel the need to wear it. People of various faiths do that too.

I just gave an example. I am aware of this no-freedom-of-religion in their law, which affects many affiliations.
