How does one reconcile the academic freedom for university professors, etc., as described, with the requirement not to express religious or political views? Say I was a professor of philosophy, working in political philosophy and philosophy of religion; surely part of my academic freedom would involve expressing views on such questions as whether there are compelling arguments for atheism, or for one political system or another. I can't believe that the discussion about not expressing religious or political opinions is meant to apply literally to all people who are formally civil servants. Clarification, s'il vous plait?

Criticisms[edit]

A "Criticism" is clearly missing here, as many (if not most) French people blame the fonctionnaires for just about everything that goes wrong in the country and the French administration (and the people that work there) are reputed for their incompetence, slowness and laziness, be it justified or not. And this has been for a long time: see Coluche's joke:

"Dans l'administration, il y a qu'on truc qu'on risquera jamais de voler, c'est l'horloge. Le personnel a les yeux constamment fixe dessus",

i.e: "In the French administration, there's one thing that's sure not to be stolen, and that's the clock. The staff has their eyes on it constantly". Jules LT 22:26, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

QUESTIONS

Is it possible to obtain a complete list of posts not open to European citizens, and also to obtain statistics as to how many European citizens have succeeded in entering areas theoretically open to them?---Clive Sweeting.
