Najat Vallaud-Belkacem

We know that if religion is allowed into schools, pupils will sometimes begin to question the teaching they receive.

It's more necessary than ever before to ensure that discernment and the development of a critical mind guide our take on the world and inform our relationship to the media and information.

We have to reappropriate the concept of laicite (secularism) so we can explain to our young pupils that whatever their faith, they belong to this idea, and they're not excluded. Secularism is not something against them; it protects them.

Is it written that equality between men and women means one can change sex? Obviously not.

We need everyone to be a feminist. Feminism is the fight for the equality of sexes, not for the domination of one sex over another.

Equality in education is my number one battle.
