It seems that any small fragments of dreams I was clutching to of the possibility of living some day in France - small fragments due to the Covid-19 destruction and restrictions - have now been shattered....
My wife and I homeschool our children. From 2021 it will be outlawed in France except in absolute exceptional (health) circumstances. My favourite (not) leader strikes again. Yay, equality and homogeny for all!
It utterly baffles me that people (and I do not give a **** what their 'position' is) can just make a decision that effects the lives of others and the people must comply. It's utter madness. The decision for ALL homeschooled children was made on the background of the rising threat of Islamic Separatism/-tists. What bullshit. This decision was made to compel ppl to be indoctrinated with government ideology from as early as possible. Way to go France, such a democracy
(No it's not possible for us to send our children to school in France because of another law passed in 2017 which came into effect in Jan 2018, which I'd prefer not to discuss here). Ever since this current person took office, the country has taken a big continual downhill slide.
This might even cut out the idea I was toying with - New Caledonia, given they are still under French rule. And people wonder why I'm so cynical. Life is easy if you comply, hey? Play the game, you get rewarded. Ignorance is bliss.
Edit:
From what I understand this is unconstitutional and what said leader is attempting to do is make out that this is a done deal and by making it rampant in the media gives the word the appearnce of being as good as the law. Well no, this isn't law, despite the dicatator-like declaration. I tell you what, living close to Melbourne, I'm getting a little ********* fed up with dicatators. We let them get their way, there will be more dicatotor declarations to come. It's about time people stood up for their rights and in doing so don't have their protests twisted against them and used as an excuse to come down harder on them or change laws to suit those who dictate. Problem - reaction - solution. I'm tired of problems presented via the propaganda machine and I didn't vote for your solutions.
