Ferry said the anti-Semitic sentiment in schools can be traced to France's large Muslim and Arab population.

This is without a doubt true, but also provides a cover for "les français de souche" (old French stock) to say what they please since everyone is busy pointing a finger at the Muslims in the screwed up housing projects.

Last September, a group of teachers published a book entitled ``The Lost Territories of the Republic,'' in which they claim the teaching of the Holocaust has become impossible in some classrooms because of hostility toward the subject by students of Arab origin.

This is a real problem imho, but reflects a general failure of the schools in the low income slums more than anything. It isn't just the Holocaust that can't be taught, but just about anything that kids need to learn to prepare themselves for adult life, things are so out of control in some schools.
