The French Assembly has passed a law banning women from wearing the burka in public. The vote was 336 to 1 with most of the Socialists abstaining. Burkas are the head to to veils favored by a few Muslim women.
France is pushing towards the integration of its immigrant population into French culture. In the US, of course, we are now into celebrating "diversity" and forgetting the idea of the melting pot in which all get transformed into Americans.
Given the high regard that the Democrats seem to have for everything European, one can only wonder when it will be that we will move back towards the assimilationist goals that always prevailed here as well. After all, if it is good enough for France, the Dems will have to want it.
