Something is brewing in France, can be a nothingburger or just a preparation for the next presidential election (they are about the half time to that, it comes in 2022). A draft of a new law package was leaked, it's aligned with the declared intention of Macron and the French government to force secularism onto the Muslim citizens of France. It is ofc a step that has to be taken (since they have to react with something, they can't just walk by of these) after the recent attacks in France, the beheading of the teacher, and the knife attack in Nice. https://www.politico.eu/article/what-macron-forgot-about-islamist-separatism/ The article presents basically one point of these laws, namely to teach children about the democratic values of France, and taking away the formation of the narrative from Muslim educational institutions. This means the ban of homeschooling, registration of the students of private schools, and the supervision of those schools by closing down unaccredited ones. Furthermore it might forces everyone else (native the French population) to stop homeschooling their kids. The article mentions special exceptions and not sure how prominent this kind of education in France. The article doesn't really talk about the other parts of this proposition. But I found more in a Hungarian article. https://index.hu/kulfold/2020/11/29/macron_szolasszabadsag_precedens_koztarsasag/ They would have also regulated the curriculum of the higher education, they want to steer from the wind blowing from America which preach about systemic racism and Islamophobia, because it undermines the usual French view of secularism regardless of race or religion. In the end it seems they'll leave this out, however they will ban assembles intending to disturb of peace and order of the institutions. No more lynching of teachers, they wish. A third law would introduce censorship with the ban of sharing nasheeds over social media, plus banning live broadcast/narrowcast of demonstrations (and how police beats up demonstrators). In parallel they would enable the police to use drones in the monitoring of public spaces and live feed from police bodycams (not to the public ofc).
