The departure of Parisian high school principal Maurice Ravel caused a wave of indignation. Threatened with death on social networks after an altercation with a student whom he asked to remove her veil, he ended up leaving his position. He was received by the Prime Minister on March 27.
He says he is leaving his position for security reasons in an email sent to teachers and parents. Since the end of February, the principal High School Mauritius–Ravel in Paris is threatened with death on social networks following an altercation with a student who refused to remove her veil. The rectorate, for its part, evokes a departure for “personal convenience”.
Avoid controversy
These terms shock some teaching unions. “We sees that there is a huge gap between the words of the head of the establishment which we naturally support and the terms of the press release in question”according to Maxime Reppert, vice-president of the national union of high schools and collegesAnd higher education schools.
National Education reacted to avoid controversy. She indicates in a press release that it understands the decision of the head of the establishment and recalls that there State mobilization in this affair was total. The prosecution has just announced that the complaint filed by the young girl accusing the principal of having assaulted her has been dismissed.
