  Not sure about Quebec, but there are public Catholic schools in Ontario. Bothers the crap out of me...

    i don't know about quebec either, I was actually only speaking about france. I have the feeling france really has something unique with its relationship to religion ( and multi-culturalism in general) that could really benefit a lot of modern western societies. Unfortunately for now the influence goes the other way, we're the ones being influenced by the craziness happening in the US..

  Except the ones worn on one's neck. The ban specifically allows for them, but not for kippahs or the hijab.

    yes , it makes sense i think. Those necklaces are barely visible and very often are hidden by your shirt. They're hardly comparable to something that covers half your head.

      Kippahs cover a very small portion of your head; I work daily with a guy who wears one and rarely notice it. Hijabs are more conspicuous, but like...so what? The intent of the 1905 law is abjuring the promotion or the degradation of religion, and simply wearing something on your head is not promoting anything, any more than being gay or, god forbid, indicating that gay people exist, is promoting homosexuality.
