This work will be a landmark, it comes at the right time to counter the racist, xenophobic remarks, in the pay of the Macronist Government, by the man called Jean-Pierre Obin, author of The school facing religious obscurantism, Edit. Max Milo in 2006, praised by all the reactionaries in the “official” sphere. This “new Crusader”, Inspector General commissioned by the Government of Philippe de Villepin, took himself for Charles Martel in 732 in Poitiers, he has never really dismounted since.
His writings are nothing but gossip and rumors, hypocritical and full of innuendoes like: “I can’t quote them, because people are afraid to testify, but there are a lot of anti-Semitic comments in schools made by Muslim students “. Of course, such a method exempts him from showing his evidence. It’s very convenient, even if it’s not very courageous and “outspoken”.
His pen is entirely at the service of the baton of all the racists and xenophobes, from “right and left” to carry out attacks, first in the media (but then?) against the alleged Muslims who are invading us. With him and many others: the Concept precedes the Proof. The danger is “Islamism which is within our walls and which threatens us from everywhere”. This is civil war talk.
We can clearly see the methods of manipulating public opinion. We are loudly declaring that reports of attacks on secularism in schools are increasing dangerously: 730 reports! Realize it, my good lady, and we forget to add: out of 12 million students. Which still gives another idea of the context.
For Free Thought and the authors of this remarkable work, it is not a question of denying the problems of secularism in secular public schools (for our part, what happens in private education is the responsibility of the Catholic Church), but to try to understand their real importance, their causes and their effects, particularly in the light of the Stasi law of 2004.
Unlike the problems of “obinetteries”, (worthy of a subject for the Certificate of Studies: Knowing that there is no Islamist wave, how can we make people believe in it?), this study is based on 966 interviews with one hour each (a thousand hours recorded), or the equivalent of 15,000 transcribed pages, surveys carried out in 66 public and 35 private establishments. A real investigation into the facts and their interpretations and not “corridor rumors”. This is real investigative work based on the principles of sociology. We can therefore draw salutary and instructive conclusions from this.
