INTERVIEW
Can secularism be taught in a totally peaceful atmosphere at school in 2021?
No, answer the authors of an Ifop survey for the Jean-Jaurès Foundation, the results of which were published on Wednesday: 49% of secondary school teachers have already self-censored in their teaching of religious issues so as not to provoke possible incidents in their classroom.
For Iannis Roder, director of the Education Observatory of the Jean-Jaurès Foundation and guest of Europe 1, Wednesday noon, these figures are truly "worrying".
A protest, "several faces"
Faced with this phenomenon which can "take several faces", from a hostile demonstration during the homage to Samuel Paty to the avoidance of the swimming pool through the challenge of a teaching, "it is obvious that the officials of the Republic of teachers, management staff and inspection bodies must unite, "insists Iannis Roder.

"Those who try to thwart the school of the Republic for radical rigorous religious reasons must find in front of them an extremely solid block on its bases", continues the member of the think tank classified on the left.
At the heart of this "block" must play "solidarity between teachers and between management and the teaching world."
"Lack of support"
It is also this solidarity that is fishing today, points out Iannis Roder: "Our survey shows that there is a significant feeling of lack of support from the management staff and the rectorate to teachers, it is which should absolutely be corrected, ”he emphasizes.
