To the Editor:

   A French school cafeteria that accommodates Catholics students with fish on Fridays but doesn't accommodate Jews and Muslims on other days rejects a core value for which the French Revolution was fought. Rather than upholding la laïcité, this is granting peculiar privilege to the Church of Rome. That should enjoy no sanction in la Republic.
