to be clear: i don't care if the french language is under threat or not, and refuse to concede the relevance of the point regarding the constitutionality of the law.

i'm not getting into a debate about that - it's irrelevant.

the law does not exist, whether the french language is under threat or not. although, i may suggest that population replacement (in conjunction with immigration control) is a better idea than fascism. and, i may ask the french people to reflect if perhaps their behaviour has something to do with the language dying off - forcing people to speak your language by gunpoint perhaps isn't the best tactic for wider adoption. you might find they tend to resist.
