” I’m mad. Our new minister has just canceled the ceremony honoring the victims of crimes against humanity which was to take place on Thursday 25th at the Sorbonne. Ceremony prepared for four months, 300 guests…” Additional controversy to the already busy picture of Amélie Oudéa Castera. The Minister of Education welcomes the rectors this Thursday in an amphitheater at the Sorbonne and, to do this, the rectorate has moved a Remembrance ceremony which was to be held there. The pill does not reach those mainly concerned, who spread their message on social networks, through Petit•e Prof.
“Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra requisitioned the large lecture hall to meet the rectors of academies” also post on his sidewith a gif of an angry character, Cédric Maurin, high school teacher and doctoral student at the Sorbonne, after being informed by one of his colleagues of the cancellation, he says, of the ceremony.
“No alert had been given”
But was the minister aware? According to a source within National Education contacted by 20 Minutesthe ministry would not have been informed of the existence of an event already planned, an event otherwise “postponed” to February 2, we are told.
The meeting with the rectors had itself been postponed due to the reshuffle, we are informed. No alert would have visibly been given either by the rectorate or by the Sorbonne, affirms this source within the ministry… which is however in the process of completely verifying this fact. The Shoah memorial also confirms to us that its teams, who were to go to the Sorbonne, were informed “twenty-four or forty-eight hours ago” of this postponement. The decision would have been taken by the rectorate.
In any case, the news is a stain, after “ten cataclysmic days”. The minister was singled out for having put her children in the private sector, at the Stanislas school, himself singled out for his “sexist, homophobic and authoritarian” world. She then shifted the responsibility for this choice of the private sector to the Littré public school, accused of “lots of hours not being replaced”. Information denied by the school, which revealed that the minister had in fact chosen to take her son out of school after a disagreement over an early move to the middle nursery section. Mediapart then revealed that his son had circumvented the rules of Parcoursup, via the chosen establishment.
