France considers a "No Beard" law for schools

Remember I said I don't like banning? (December 6th). France is on a banning kick lately. They have a reasonable cause -- to not let religion mix with public education. However, they banned the scarfs muslim women wear, declaring them as religious symbols. Now it's beards, since orthodox muslims always wear them.

A book about the absurdity of excessive banning is Mark Dunn's Ella Minnow Pea.
