Education Minister admits plagiarizing text from internet...

Marc explains the news from France...

The story HERE. (The photo shows an arrow, not a penis.)

The theft of intellectual property by the party and government of Nicolas Sarkozy (the one who wants to censor the internet in France to prevent illegal downloading) continues. Education Minister Luc Chatel has admitted stealing from a website called Wikiberal the answer he gave to a MP (noted homophobe from Chatel's party, Christian Vanneste). 

The question referred to school vouchers... which is ironic in France, where Catholic schools already are financed in large part by tax dollars (they pay the teachers' salaries). This is just one of the many facts about France that make me guffaw when the Frogs go on about the lack of separation of Church and State in the USA...

Back to our subject: so the Minister of Education is copying stuff off the web for his homework. Okaaay.
