The French government is actively practicing assimilation to protect/preserve the French's national identity, and to help the large numbers of immigrants in France to blend in to society.]]> 2022-10-22 13:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351637677 qssteacher https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351638238 2022-10-22 13:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351638238 qssteacher https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351639311 2022-10-22 13:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351639311 qssteacher https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351639354 2022-10-22 13:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2351639354 sarah_nuha_suraimi https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2354635697 Source B strongly agrees with the burkini ban. Source B states "I support the burkini ban whole heartedly... By supporting the ban of burkini , minorities will successfully adapt and continue to be part of the French society as they adopt values for the greater good of the country". From this , I can tell that Source B strongly agrees the burkini ban as the writer of the source believes that doing so will push minorities/immigrants to practice the beliefs and practices of the French society , therefore improving society. Thus , Source B strongly agrees with the burkini ban as this ban will help to progress the French Society.]]> 2022-10-25 02:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2354635697 https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2354636480 source A agrees to the statement as the source states,"the burkini was incompatible with the values of the French Republic and that the burkini represents,"a deadly and backwards Islamism"."

Source A states, "Prime minister Manuel Valls has said that the burkini was incompatible with the values of the French republic and that the burkini represents "a deadly and backward Islamism". This tells me how the government of France feels that letting people wear a Burkini does not totally align with the french's values. If they do not align, they would not be fully accepted as a French and France would just see them as foreigners]]> 2022-10-25 02:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2354640902 https://padlet.com/qssteacher/zdfeu6o4r2m3hbm/wish/2354642677 The source disagrees with the burkini ban in France is justified.

Evidence from the source states: "Wearing such singular clothing, other than what is commonly worn for swimming, can only be interpreted as a symbol of religiosity in this context." and "members of the France's Socialist government have been vocal supporters of the ban."
