Jean-Pierre Obin, former National Education inspector and author of “The teachers are afraid”, was the guest of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews. At the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk, he returned to the departure of the principal of the Maurice-Ravel high school in Paris, threatened with death after an altercation with a student over the wearing of the veil. This departure "is a victory for the Islamists", he believes.
A simple email to confirm a departure. Friday March 22, the principal of the Maurice-Ravel establishment in Paris announced that he was leaving his position "for safety for me and for the establishment", he explained. An email which follows an altercation between him and a student at the end of February who refused to remove her veil at the heart of the school sign, as required by the 2004 law.
The latter claims to have been assaulted. The student filed a complaint, but it was dismissed because the offense "was not sufficiently characterized", specifies the prosecution. For his part, the principal and the rectorate denied any violence against the young girl. But a wave of harassment and death threats against the director of the establishment overcame his desire to stay in office until his retirement, planned in a few months.
Invited this Thursday on the set of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews, Jean-Pierre Obin, former inspector of National Education, believes that this new episode is another victory for the Islamists. “For the Islamists, it is a victory and they will savor it as such,” he assures Sonia Mabrouk at the microphone.
