Conspiracies and discrimination against Muslims once again sparked in France post Charlie Hebdo attack.
In a bizarre incident, a Northwestern town Mayor introduced a “pork or nothing” principle at school.
According to a report published in RT. Mayor Marcel Mortreau said “The mayor is not required to provide meals that respond to religious requirements. This is the principle of secularism,”
Adding fuel to the fire, Town Hall also backed the decision on the grounds that the food providers face extra work if they have to deliver meat substitutes, the Local reported.
The initiative has been supported by some public school officials.
Eric Le Moal, a public school director said that “We didn’t open school canteens for partisan, religious, philosophical, cultural reasons,”
However, Muslim parents and pupils expressed their fury at the mayor’s decision, especially due to the fact that a second meal doesn’t cost any extra.
A mother of one pupil called the new policy “discrimination” and voiced her anger that she has to tell “a small child that “you will eat less today because there’s pork on the menu.” “You hear comments like, ‘if you don’t like it, take your children home.’ It hurts,” she added.
