I created this page after seeing it in another editor's wish list.

I just now realized there is already an article on secularity in French schools, which is a featured article and has a much more comprehensive scope. My apologies for not looking more thoroughly before putting the article up. I'll go ahead and put a merge tag onto this article in case there's anything that can be used from this article for the secularity in French schools one.

D'oh!

The title of this article references the veil, which indicates a piece of cloth covering the nose and mouth. The actual controversy focused on 'le foulard' a french word for hajib, or scarf, covering the hair and sometimes the neck and ears. I'm going to change the title if you don't mind. (ADDED: Don't know how to change the title, but it should be changed for accuracy's sake.)--Anotherpanacea (talk) 22:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
