Staff have gone on strike at a school near Paris saying they fear for their lives after Muslim pupils and parents voiced anger towards a teacher who displayed a Renaissance painting of nude women.
After the recent murders of two teachers by jihadi terrorists, staff at the middle school at Issou, on the Seine west of Paris, are worried that they too could be attacked.
Dominique Bernard was stabbed to death by a Muslim man in his school’s playground in the northern town of Arras in October. In 2020 a civics teacher, Samuel Paty was stabbed and beheaded by a terrorist in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, 12 miles from Issou, after he showed his pupils a caricature of Mohammed in a class on free speech.
