A school in central France has taken a step backwards in the darkest past of the country this week, forced Jewish and Muslim students and vegetarians to wear red and yellow emblems.
The Piedalloues primary school in Auxerre, Burgundy, forced eighteen students to wear the emblems that the employee cafeteria expenses pork to the marked to ensure.
The practice has been withdrawn during the week, after parents and local officials had outraged by the practice. They argued that the procedure to recall the practice of Nazis, who demanded that Jews wear yellow stars, reported the British Telegraph.
The mayor of the town immediately ordered the setting of this practice, after he had heard of it, said Christian Sautier, director of communications in the mayor's office on request.
"When we heard about it, we have fallen from our chairs," he added.
France has a long history of forcing Jews to wear clear signs on their clothing.
Together with the "yellow star" during the German occupation, the "Jew hats" were a visible indicator of the exclusion of Jews from society during the 11th and 12th centuries in France.
However, vegetarians do not stand on one same level with Jews and Muslims. But the idea is good, already known, but good
