I've already said it here, but anyway: In all my schooling in the south of France I have never seen Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, etc... clothing or signs on another student. Not even a small cross. People here understand the freedom to believe or not to believe and to keep that out of school.

The school system here is mostly free, even for many higher education courses, so it makes sense to me to have to follow certain rules in order to benefit from this. At home/outside school, you are free to believe in a religion or not.
