"Voluntarily", sure.

Whatever the court says to be within your rights is the thing that is within your rights. It's the courts that interpret law. Are you a court? Specifically, if you're in France, are you a French court?

There are many who want to voluntarily wear hijab to school in France, but are denied this right. So, my point stands that this "secular" law is intolerant.
>Whatever the court says to be within your rights
Weak argument. Let's say an extremist court says women have no right to education. Or, that blacks are less human, say the have less rights.
>the French president is alive. So what? It's still within my "Freedom of Speech" to say whatever I want, as long as it does not directly incite violence. Regardless of whatever Frances' convenient version is. I believe even the US allows insulting the president.
