France to sue teen for falsely accusing school head in headscarf row

France’s prime minister says a teenage girl will be sued by the state for falsely accusing her headteacher of striking her in a heated exchange over her wearing an Islamic head-covering.

The headteacher insisted that the pupil remove her head-covering inside the school, in accordance with French law.

He resigned after death threats circulated on social media.

The Islamist threat to French schools is taken extremely seriously since the murder of two teachers.

Samuel Paty was decapitated on the street in a Paris suburb in 2020 and Dominique Bernard was killed at his school in Arras five months ago.

The far-right loves these moments in France I guess.

Fuck off with your false equivalence.

False accusations leading to death threats should be punished.

I don't think I understand what you're saying. Can you elaborate?

How are you turning basic justice into a partisan issue?

?

Dude, all five major parties equally condemned the threats. It’s just that Le Pen is likely to get more support over this.

Yes, of course they should. I’m just saying that the far right thrives on religious violence and fear. I don’t think asking students to follow the law as applies to everyone and making death threats is equivalent. Sorry if it came out that way.

BTW I applaud the French school system for its enforced secularization.

That's a tricky one nowadays.
No christian (to my knowledge) has ever had an issue to wear a cross, which every now and then comes out of the t-shirt but it makes muslim girls from conservative families stay home, since they are not allowed to wear a scarf at school.

Then I like it, at least in principle. I guess enforcement is going to be non-uniform in the best of cases though, IDK if they even check how many teachers let a headscarf vs a rosary slide for example, or of course it’s going to be easier to hide a rosary than a headscarf.
