18 sept 1989 año - ‘Affaire du foulard’

Descripción:

‘Affaire du foulard’ (Islamic scarf controversy). On 18 September 1989 three schoolgirls were suspended for wearing headscarfs, which provoked a debate around the question of ‘laïcité’ (secularism) in French state schools. Lionel Jospin’s statement as minister for education, in December, was that it should be decided on a case by case basis.
