The dissemination of images and speeches were deemed ” inappropriate by parents of students who filed a complaint.
With our correspondent in Rabat, Victor Mauriat
It all started at the end of last year, when two parents of students from the Honoré de Balzac Unified School Group in Kénitra, a town about fifty kilometers north of Rabat, alerted the school management to the remarks of a teacher, held in class in front of pupils aged 7 to 9.
According to them, the teacher would have broadcast images of men kissing other men during a speech on homosexuality, but she would also have mentioned Iran, the prophet and Islam in general.
Faced with the absence of a satisfactory reaction from the establishment, the parents then decided to file a complaint at the end of February. Contacted by RFI, their lawyer Me Abderahim Jamai explains that “ the apology of homosexuality ” n / A ” in no way its place in a school “all the more in the face of” such young children “.
In response and without waiting for the end of the legal proceedings, the Agency for French Establishments Abroad decided to suspend the teacher from her duties, for ” serious breach in his professional posture and teaching practices “.
A case that French diplomats would have done well while relations are still complicated between Paris and Rabat against a backdrop of regional policy disagreements.
