France, a powerful nation admired for our perseverance and patriotism, currently faces a dilemma unlike any other before. Modern day globalization has created not only new problems, but problems of new magnitudes. Our country is witnessing our assets, time and energy being spent on the issues of immigration and secularization without any promise of restoring peace for our state. Unlike the rest of the world, however, France makes every decision on immigration policies based on our past. We strive to create a future that reflects the morals and standards of our great nation, in the hopes of strengthening our nation and carrying ourselves forward into a more modern France.

Such is obtained by secularism and equality, which reinforce and complement one another. To fix issues associated with ethnicities feeling discriminated against because of school codes, specifically regarding lacite, there are steps that can be taken to preserve the effective system while fixing the collateral damage. Ultimately the solution lies not with changing the system entirely but working to make sure that all ethnicities feel welcome and French, be it through the system or by outside changes. First steps should include better communication. The public needs to be aware that laws passed against ostentatious religious wear are not a means to facilitate discrimination but come from a benevolence towards all French citizens, and about the fact that the hijab violates French neutrality, as many people are unclear about why the hijab is strictly opposed.
