In preparation for your assignment, please read the following article on the face veil ban in France. Please also review the French Constitution to see how the veil ban fits in with individual expression in France. Finally, please review the U.S. Constitution as it relates to individual expression. Hint: You're looking in both constitutions for what the government says individuals can and cannot do. Take notes.
Assignment: Write an opinion piece in which you compare and contrast the French and U.S. constitutions on the issue of individual expression (this is directly related to free speech). Would such a ban work here in the United States? Why or why not?
You may consult other sources for your piece. Be sure to correctly attribute material from ALL sources. Be sure to reference the face veil ban in France as the starting point for your work. Your response should be between 300 and 500 words. You will PRINT your essay before you leave class today.
WASC Work: Some of you may be called out to a student focus group meeting during your third period class today. The Visiting Committee will ask you questions related to the work we did last December about school culture and climate.
