    • Abstract:
      As a result of the claims made by a number of cultural groups in schools, there has recently been a revival in France of the debate about the most appropriate way to achieve the integration of immigrants. While France has traditionally adopted a model of integration based on voluntary assimilation together with respect for private cultural practices, during the last few years the debate has been increasingly dominated by those who wish to assert republican laicity as the most appropriate way of achieving peaceful co-existence in the midst of cultural and religious diversity. This article examines the development of the debate over religious symbols in French schools. A debate which began from a standpoint of tolerance and has now resulted in the recent legal ban on religious symbols on the basis of recommendations made by the Stasi Committee's report and on an argument about the laicity of institutions.

    • Abstract:
      La discusión sobre cuál es el modo más adecuado para lograr a integración de los inmigrantes se ha reavivado recientemente en Francia como consecuencia de las reivindicaciones de algunos grupos culturales en las escuelas. Si tradicionalmente Fraricia había adoptado un modelo de integración basado en la asimilación voluntaria junto al respeto a las prácticas culturales privadas, en los últimos años el debate se ha visto dominado progresivamente por quienes pretenden reafirmar la laicidad republicana como la forma más adecuada de lograr la convivencia dentro de la diversidad cultural y religiosa. En este artículo se expone la evolución del debate sobre los símbolos religiosos en las escuelas en Francia. Un debate que ha pasado desde la tolerancia inicial a su reciente prohibición por ley, a partir de las recomendaciones del Informe de la Comisión Stasi, pero basando siempre la argumentación en la laicidad de las instituciones.
