France : a secular charter soon displayed in schools

As early as the end of next september, a secular charter will be displayed in all public schools of the country. « Everyone is free to express his\ her own views, but not to contest teaching contents nor to skip a lesson for religious beliefs, the Minister of Education, Vincent Peillon, said. This secular charter will precede another measure previously announced by the Minister : an introduction to one hour of secular morality for school children and high school students.
