L'établissement scolaire est le lieu adéquat pour apprendre collectivement une pratique citoyenne qui ne nie pas d'où l'on vient ni ce qu'on est mais qui permet d'être différent ensemble. L'enseignement des trois valeurs de la laïcité doit se faire en lien avec les deux grands fondements du pacte républicain -l'état civil et le droit du sol -pour créer, par-delà les communautés traditionnelles de chacun, ce que Jean-Louis Auduc nomme "la communauté d'affections, cet ensemble d'images, de valeurs, de rêves et de volontés qui fondent la République".
Young people from the suburbs of the major cities of France rioted for several days in November 2005, damaging vehicles, companies and local infrastructure.This violence is a manifestation of the exasperation of young people from these suburbs against the discrimination they experience in terms of access to employment, to housing, due to the colour of their skin, origin, religion, even where they live.At a deeper level, this violence revealed their suicidal hopelessness in attacking their daily reality. It is also instructive, for those with parents who immigrated to France or from overseas départements, as it shows a crisis in social reference points and a feeling of being kept apart from the national community which is now the first in line to question schools, teaching programmes, practices and the experience of its values, but also employment, housing, transport and town planning policies.
