It seems to me you are arguing that the state needs to liberate certain 
children from their families in order that they not be subject to what you 
deem repressive religious or moral standards.  Do you have any evidence that 
the girls in France wearing scarves wish to be liberated from their culture 
and families?  Also, how do we as a society decide WHICH religions/cultures 
are repressive and need to be suppressed?  This is a slippery slope...
