France: “Fuck the Islamophobes”, ” To all teachers, I will behead you”

On Thursday October 21, a threatening note was discovered on the door of a boys’ toilet of the Gustave Jaume high school in Pierrelatte: ” To all teachers, I will behead you”. The Drôme academic director calls for caution and vigilance.

“Does this have any meaning? Is it a joke? In any case, it automatically puts us on alert,” assures the Drôme’s academic coordinator, Pascal Clément. And for good reason: in the early afternoon of Thursday October 21, an utterly threatening graffiti was spotted on the door of the boys’ toilets of the Gustave Jaume high school in Pierrelatte. The graffiti reads, among other things: “Fuck the Islamophobes” and ” To all teachers, I will behead you”.

The headmaster filed a complaint. The plaque was apparently removed immediately after it was discovered. Internally, a notice was given to the school’s staff. “The best way to deal with this is to inform so that everyone is vigilant,” the academic director explained. Threats written by one or more young people may not reflect their intentions, “we don’t know how genuine the message is”, warns Pascal Clément.

Already on Tuesday October 19, a hooded man had entered a classroom in the middle of a lesson and thrown a chair towards a teacher who had dodged it.
