EU Macron announces homeschooling ban in France, other measures, in wake of continued terrorist attacks

President Emmanuel Macron has launched a crackdown on radical Islamist “separatism” in France, announcing plans for strict new controls on religious, cultural and sporting associations and a ban on home schooling.

Mr Macron’s announcement of a draft law, to be finalised this year, is his latest initiative to reimpose French secular republican values in districts heavily populated by Arab and African Muslim immigrants seen as vulnerable to falling under the sway of Islamists.


He also wants to garner the support of conservative and far-right voters ahead of the next presidential election in 2022 amid continued public concern about terrorism and law and order, political analysts say.

Fourteen alleged associates of the Islamist gunmen who attacked the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and a Jewish supermarket in 2015 are on trial in Paris. On Tuesday, Zaheer Hassan Mahmoud, a Pakistani man, was charged with attempted terrorist assassinations after injuring two people with a cleaver outside the former Charlie Hebdo offices a week ago.

“We have built this separatism ourselves, it’s in our communities and their ghettoisation,” said Mr Macron, accompanied by six government ministers, in a speech on Friday in Les Mureaux north-west of Paris, a district where successive French governments have sought to counter what one former premier called “social, territorial and ethnic apartheid”. “We have built concentrations of poverty and problems . . . We have created areas where the promises of the republic have not been fulfilled,” he added.

The president said that in the Yvelines department, where Les Mureaux is located, 170 people were being monitored for suspected violent radicalisation, and 70 young people had left for Syria as jihadis.

He also said 32 terrorist attacks had been foiled by the security services since the start of his mandate three years ago. Mr Macron said the government needed to attack “Islamist separatism”, supporters of which had systematically attempted to build a “parallel” society in France, and would spend money on integrating communities in difficult suburbs, including investing in youth programmes and schools.

The aim, he said, was to “ensure a republican presence at the foot of each tower block, each building, in places where we were retreating”.

The president said more than 50,000 children in France were being educated at home and the number was increasing every year. From the start of the school year in September 2021, all children above the age of three would be obliged to attend state registered schools unless exempted for health reasons.

The draft legislation, designed to build on a 1905 law enforcing the separation of church and state, will also tighten controls over the management and financing of cultural associations and places of worship. It will contain an “anti-putsch” provision to prevent radicals taking control of mosques or other institutions.

Mr Macron, a social liberal who was elected president in 2017 as a candidate who was “neither right nor left”, has sought to court rightwing voters by announcing tougher immigration rules and tightening controls on foreign financing of mosques.

His advisers say the president’s policy of targeting even small infractions of French values of liberty and equality — such as the refusal to shake the hand of a female official or the introduction of separate hours for men and women in municipal swimming pools — had succeeded in sidelining Islamist leaders.

The government has since 2018 designated some districts as “areas of republican reconquest”, to which it has sent extra police and invested in schools.

In 15 districts where Islamist separatism was most evident, the Elysée said the authorities had closed 212 food and drink outlets, four schools, 15 prayer halls and 13 associations, and ended widespread social security fraud in which millions of euros had been used to finance Islamist activities.

Article in Neo Gaf link is from Financial times. Which I cannot open hence why I posted the neo gaf link.

Based Muslims. Outbreeding Eurocucks. Demographics is destiny, liberals. You guys constantly said this.
 
This is all good news, a cause to be supported. Maybe you should consider supporting initiatives that push back against religious totalitarianism and actually support the French? Congratulate them for this, give them a round of applause for confronting this.
 
Making people go into school to learn at a time of an epidemic seems fucking retarded. If ever there was a time to support homeschooling, right now probably seems like a good time.
Kids are the least affected by the virus, and frankly it's danger is overblown as is.

This is a good move by Macron, as it depowers the Islamist schools, starts to force integration in the gheyto-ized areas, and is a start to undoing the mistakes that led to those ghettos in the first place.
 
The reason for the Macron presidency was to continue the Islamization of France, so I have trouble buying that he has any good intentions here. I suspect the more likely reason for the home schooling ban is to keep more conservative French families from protecting their children from indoctrination or “diversity.”
 
Yeah. Anyone who wants to get rid of home schooling is suspect as a wanna be totalitiarian.

There are much better ways to go after Islam that dont oh so convienently go after the right wing in general.

If your governement is going to implement facist policies either way, might as well go letter pen and get.facism for the french, rather than globalism.
 
Yeah, this is totalitarianism, and it isn't going to work besides. It's much more likely to crack down on non-Islamic French people who don't want the government indoctrinating their children.

France has brought itself a set of problems to which I honestly don't seen any good solution at this point.
 
Yeah. The French have for several hundred years run an authoritarian system going on totalitarian. It unfortunately looks like the French have narrowed their options down to facism, and they now have to choose pro french, pro eu, or pro Islam fascism.
At least thats what it looks like from the ouside.

The pro EU side is making its move with this, trying to dress it up as pro French. Well see if the French can be fooled again.

Time for a sixth Republic then?
 
I mean, why? Different flavor of authoritarian bullshit that French Republics inevitably are? The problem with France is that they've long killed any idea of liberty, and have pretty well killed off Fraternity at this point.

So all they've really got is a fetishization of equality, which will require some sort of fascism. Maybe in Le Pen theyve got some last gasp of faternity, of Frenchness outside of universal liberal globalism equality which this Macron push seems to be driving at (gender equality as a core French tradition? What nonsense is this?) But that seems questionable, and Le Pen may be corrupted by enough 20th century nonsense so that like the Nazis all she'll do is kill of any legitimate right wing in France left for another 100 years, by which point france wont be a concept the people of France will have to concern themselves with.
 
Firstly, this doesn’t address that the Islamic population is still growing at an extremely rapid rate. Forcing them to attend state schools doesn’t deal with that.

Secondly, any ban on homeschooling should be suspect. Such a ban could easily be applied to Christians or really anyone who didn’t want to be subjected to state ideology.

Thirdly, it is clear from this sort of initiative Macron is trying to under cut the potential for Le Pen sweeping the country in 2022. Or at least winning a major victory. It’s political.

Fourthly-is the government going to enforce this? In Islamic Ghettos? Where police fear to go? Except with overwhelming force?

And fifthly, French culture is still being Africanized and Islamized. Enforcing secularism in this way strikes me as being a futile attempt to impose this value on a population that does not want it.
 
I think it’s got more to due with a sense of national schizophrenia.

The French had a revolution and a storied history of revolts, riots, and rebellions, yet at the same time do seem to love to their Napoleons, Macrons, De Gaulles, and other king replacement figures.

Maybe...the French want both monarchy and democracy, and that’s why they’ve had such a tumultuous last two centuries(and thirty years).

Brits this is your time to feel smug enjoy it while it lasts.
 
The draft is a double-edged sword that will only cut one way. They won't enforce it in any areas that perpetuate islamic radicalization because if they had any intention of doing so the extent laws would already have been enforced. It is just another roundabout measure to enlarge governmental authority and create precedent for the same authoritarian legislation to be applied elsewhere it is not needed.

Ultimately it fails to address the problem's source which is the introduction of radical islamic beliefs to French territory. What a shock that the last time this was an issue came about through islamic conquest, only now the conquerors are being ushered through the gates under pretense of charity.
 
I mean-how is the French government going to handle enforcing this? If the Islamic ghettos revolt and refuse to allow their children to attend state schools or their young men to be drafted.

Is it going to send in the army? Or just the gendarmes?

I suspect it’s a way for Macron to say he’s doing something and as I said, undercut Le Pen ahead of 2022. While these laws will be used to crack down on other people that don’t deserve to be cracked down on.
 
France is experiencing the logical outcome of letting into your country a ton of people who hate you and want to see you dead, just because you just don't want to be called an evil racist xenophobe.

I mean, who didn't see this shit coming?
