True enough, but France is not the US. Their traditions and culture are really quite different. Naturalization in France has always required that one becomes "French" whereas in the US we have only required knowledge (a test) and an oath. You can still be something else. That is why Frankfurter's opinions in Gobitis and Barnette are so awful.
Paul Finkelman Not the only reason, Paul. What I object to is his hypocrisy (and his sanctimonious tone in Barnette.) FF was trying to have it both ways, hinting that his heart was with the liberals and appeasing advocates of judicial restraint. And all along he thought that what the school boards did was not only constitutional; it was right.
