France outlaws homeschool

In a supposed effort to curtail "Islamist separatism" French president Emmanuel Macron is moving to ban homeschooling and independent schools.  

The new law would come into force in the school year 2021–2022 for all children aged between 3 and 16. It was already under Macron’s presidency that education became compulsory for tots of infant school age. With a comfortable majority at the National Assembly, the ruling La République en Marche party, which Macron led to victory in 2017, is expected to validate the draft law the government will present in accordance with the president’s wishes.

Macron’s announcements were part of a series of measures aimed at fighting what he calls “separatism,” a strange expression he uses to designate the aims of “radical Islamists” who want to substitute the laws of the French Republic with sharia law. He quoted the example of a clandestine school where young Muslims were found in a plain, almost windowless room, taught by women in niqabs and learning mostly prayers and the Koran, in order to justify his wide-ranging attack against freedom of education.

Emmanuel Macron was speaking at a public event in Les Mureaux, one of the many suburban towns around Paris where immigrants from many countries, mostly in North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, form the majority. Les Mureaux was the theater of ethnic riots in 2005 and has since been considered a hotspot for radical Islam, with the shooting of a police commander and his girlfriend in 2016 in an attack claimed by the Islamic State. Many of these migrants are Muslim: Muslims represent anything from 4 to 8 or 9 million souls in France, according to different sources. Repeatedly, terrorist attacks in France have been committed in the name of Allah by such migrants, legal or not.

According to Lionel Devic, president of the “Fondation pour l’Ecole,” an association that supports the creation and functioning of independent schools in France, “it is clearly established that not a single perpetrator of terrorist attacks in France came from independent schools.” In his statement, he added that “Emmanuel Macron lucidly acknowledged that Islamist separatism can be traced back to public schools and private schools under contract with the state.”

This is why you cannot allow unmitigated immigration and keep a beautiful national identity simultaneously.  Instead of banning Muslim immigrants, Macron specifically welcomes them, and then under the guise of removing islamic separatists, locks down on education efforts of those who will be,  invariably, French Christians.  

In his speech, Macron requests "whatever his religion or absence of religion, to respect absolutely all the laws of the Republic."  He goes on to say that he is trying to protect children "from religion."  It seems to me he chose his side against his republic and against his people, and thrown his lot in with the god of this world.

The adage "homeschool or die" holds true.  If the people of a true nation cannot teach their own children, eventually that nation dies.
