they also voted that associations organizing "non-mixed" meetings (aka poc meetings) could be dismantled <3

This is weird. So weird. They're not thinking they're being fascists, they think people WHO ARE supporting hijabi women or organizing "non-mixed" meetings are the fascists here. Not even damn communists or "islamolefists" (as the right says here now), literally just fascists. Oppressed minorities are fascists now

Next month headline : Muslim mothers are egoistic and communautarist because they don’t participate in school life.

Also, please not that it’s not only the hijab that is forbidden, but any form of veiling. They’re forbiding muslim women to cover their head.

For the international audience reading this, the bill about forbidding minors from wearing hijabs/kippas/etc won't pass, the Constitutional Council will sigh and throw it away because it's anticonstitutionnal, but the law passing isn't the point here. The point is the racism.

I think you're wrong about them thinking antiracists are the real racists. These are LR: being racists is not a "mistake". It's their goal. At this point it's getting pretty clear that LR wants Muslims either to assimilate completely or to have no choice but leave France. (the LR Minister of Interior published a book in February vaunting Napoleon's policies about Jews, which were extremely restrictive and erased a number of the improvements the Revolution gave French Jews as far as equal treatment under the law etc went: Napoleon explained in his letters that his goal was to "crush the particularity if Jewish blood" and was tempted to forbid marriages between Jews, though that was too much even for his lawmakers at the time and wasn't passed. The goal was assimilation. The current government is following that example, which they consider, quote, "a policy of integration before its time")

To make it extremely clear this is about racism and not about any religious concerns, in case the rancid violation of the principle of laicity the previous paragraphs describe didn't make it clear, they're also trying to pass a bill forbidding foreign flags from entering town halls when weddings are celebrated. (They mean Algerian/Moroccan/Tunisian flags. No-one's gonna care about American flags.)

The bill allowing associations and "groups of fact" (ie groups without a legal existence, informal groups), now, is going to be a real problem.

Also: while it's not the MAIN issue here, the fact that the association they're going after is the major student union is NOT a mistake. Our Ministers of Education and Higher Education are peddling the "teachers/universities/researchers are islamoleftists" bullshit like some bad Maccarthysm remake, and the government is trying to privatize education and higher education. (In the words of our president: there's "mad bucks" to be made in privatizing the public sector)

It's worded in a way that means you COULD hold non-mixed reunions the way they've been held until now (by making "shared experience of racism" the factor, and not "race or skin color") - and I choose to believe this is the reason why otherwise good antiracist Senators such as Esther Benbassa didn't vote against it; she abstained - but it WILL be a bitch and a half to defend in court. Now, it that DOES pass, some intrepid association might try to get after the LR Senators, for instances, or other entirely-white-in-fact-but-not-in-writing institution.

The actual worst part is that the public debate is three right-wing parties going more and more far-right with every week that passes, a super unpopular and not good with race issues left-wing leader, that our presidential elections are in 13 months, and that it's going to get worse before it gets better.

there's a lot of worried reblogging about this topic, so the reblog above me has clarification in English. And petitions, especially those in English, will not have any effect in this case.

But haven't seen anything else regarding the requirement of sale of pork and alcohol?
