A demonstration bringing together a hundred students was held yesterday, in front of the Foch high school. The high school students supported one of their comrade, who was excluded from the establishment, following comments deemed threatening and offensive.
A hundred students gathered yesterday morning, in front of the Foch high school, to denounce the exclusion of one of their comrade.
The school accuses him of “offensive language “and “threatening”, to one of his teachers. These comments were said to have been made in a private group, on the Instagram application.
It all started with a conversation on a social network and in a private group. High school friends have “discussed” and exchanged about one of their teacher. “Schoolboy jokes have burst out”, according to them. The conversation should have stayed in this circle. But, we do not know by which channel, it reached the ears of the professor in question, who seized the direction of the school.
“ It is a decision that we find disproportionate. We do not minimize these comments. We believe that the context is unfavorable to our comrade. But who has never said insulting words against one of the teachers, because he overloaded us with work, or badly graded us? ? It must be said that with all this health protocol, the high school students are on their toes “, indicate Bérangère, Lou and Charlie, the spokespersons of the demonstrators.
Five other students suspended
The demonstrators find the exclusion all the more unfair because the girl in question would not have been “defended and would not have had access to her rights”, they note. Karine Froment, the principal of the school, refutes these criticisms. “A disciplinary council is very regulated. The pupil went to the disciplinary council with his mother. We notified him of his rights orally and in writing. Representatives of parents of pupils attended this council. , teachers, administrative staff and elected staff. The council has made a decision. It has ruled on a case of exclusion and without stay. We are not going to reverse this decision. “, specifies the principal.
The pupil and his mother have the possibility of appealing. In the meantime, it is in calm but with determination that the high school students have demonstrated, to the sound of music and waving slogans. A delegation of students was even received by the principal. Karine Froment says she is working with the excluded high school student and her mother to find another school.
This research could prove to be complex because the young girl had taken the plastic art option, an option taught in only two schools, in Aveyron, including the Foch high school. Note that five other students were temporarily excluded for “liking” the words of the schoolgirl.
