The French Education Ministry is currently investigating a high school teacher from Paris, who has allegedly shared antisemitic content on Facebook, including with some of her pupils.
The CRIF, the Representative Council of the Jewish Institutions of France, lodged a complaint with the ministry earlier this week. She teaches at the Janson-de-Sailly school, which the JTA describes as “prestigious”, and reportedly invited students to connect with her page on Facebook.
The teacher allegedly wrote to condemn “the American Jewish lobby” and voiced her support for Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign.
It is also alleged that she wrote that Francois Hollande “is a Jew who benefited from his belonging to that community to ascend in politics and who now denies this” and that he “is a Jew and denies it. Backpedaling will begin all over, now that it is less beneficial for Jewry”.
She wrote of the Holocaust that “the Shoah was designed and organised by Jews”.
