A polling clerk representing the Front de Gauche coalition asked rabbi Avraham Weill to take off his kippa, based on France’s secular rule that states it’s illegal to wear “ostentatious” religious symbols inside state schools, according to France 24 (http://f24.my/194SnAN).
However, the rule does not apply to school premises when they are used as polling stations. The incident happened during the first round of polls to elect new local councils.
The local Communist Party, a member of the Front de Gauche coalition, said they would contact the rabbi to discuss the misunderstanding and that they “regretted” what happened.

As Dzigan said, “A kleine misfarshtendinish”!
But happened? did he remove it or not?
Hope he told them to drop dead!
Did he comply?
Trade up.
Torah gives us the future.
Another day of a bad advisor trying to shape the future.
Torah works by letting the evil have its expression and then we fix the problem with prayer and trust in G-d.
Ultimately, I would imagine this will not be the whole complicated future.
He should have JUST WALKED OUT!!!
