News that France will suspend football (soccer) games at which “La Marseillaise” has been booed reveals how the famous credo of that country has fallen into disuse.


A liberal approach toward speech — giving Tunisians in France the liberté to boo their country of residence — would communicate powerfully that France is stronger than such slights — yet still welcoming of Tunisians as frères et soeurs.


The booing wouldn’t last long, as the Tunisians would recognize and appreciate the égalité légale accorded them by France.


Fin.
