Secularism Festival

This is the 112th anniversary of the secularism law

In the name of secularism, social relations should respect all peaceful religions and philosophies. Deny them, neglect them, ignore them, these religions, is an offense to their respect. It’s already an affront to them… as much as highlighting Christmas in the classrooms of schools in a said country “secular”…

National Education programs regarding religion.

That’s why, on this birthday, the question arises as to why the youngest programs (and primary) have no "secular education", in the absence of a teaching of religions and philosophies of life.

Nothing in Moral and Civic Education of National Education, in which this teaching could be included ... Without loading the program further ... but replacing certain themes, unnecessary meeting and paperwork !

This would perhaps prevent people named (the team of secular mission officers) at the Ministry of National Education, (out of reality by definition in majority) to brainstorm to answer questions that only they ask themselves…

Small lighting for the youngest on the issue, thanks to “One day, A question“.

A secularist mission manager

"The secularity mission manager with the ministry and the secularity referents appointed in academies [will be] likely to act as an expert resource within establishments and during staff training.” There are probably many other ways to pacify these questions around religion.. For once, thinking of doing well, the State further stigmatizes the delicate subject of questions around religions. And yet, it is the children who will think, will create, will build the world of tomorrow… It is through them that the future and understanding of the world will improve..

And, incidentally, this lighting could also help to better understand the EN calendar religious holidays below, authorizing its agents to request an authorization to be able to be absent.

Happy Birthday Secularism!

“You will find in the appendix, for information, the dates of the main ceremonies specific to certain faiths, for the year 2006.
I would be obliged if you would remind the heads of departments under your authority that they can grant their agents leave of absence to participate in a religious holiday corresponding to their faith, insofar as this absence is compatible with the normal functioning of the service.
