[Chewbacca]

School uniforms have become more the norm in some disctricts here. They help curb gang violence in the inner-city as well as obscure social class (read:money) differences as well.

I can see how the French ban is designed to promote the end of class fragmentation based on religion and/or culture. I can also see how reaching a compromise sensitive to various religous and cultural customs seems very difficult.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't- situation in my opinion..
