This painted a large target on the backs of the teachers, especially after the beheading of Samuel Paty, but no disciplinary action was taken. Any such action would have been…”Islamophobic.”
“Sciences Po Grenoble: 17 students released after accusing their teachers of Islamophobia,” translated from “Sciences Po Grenoble : 17 étudiants relaxés après avoir accusé leurs professeurs d’islamophobie,” Valeurs Actuelles, November 27, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
They come out unscathed. The students of the Institute of Political Studies (IEP) of Sciences Po Grenoble were released by the disciplinary commission of the University of Clermont-Auvergne, which prosecuted them for having participated in the dissemination of accusations of Islamophobia against professors. This is what was reported in a press release from the management of Sciences Po’s IEP, which “takes note” of the verdict, reported by our colleagues from Le Monde on Friday, November 26. Only one student received a suspended sentence of temporary exclusion from the disciplinary section of the University of Clermont-Auvergne. This sanction, however, comes in the context of another defamation case. The student accused a member of the IEP board of directors of sexual harassment.
Last March, seventeen students branded two of their teachers as Islamophobic, not hesitating to put up posters about them at the entrance to the IEP. This action was widely relayed on the web, in particular by the UNEF, and which had created a lively controversy. The union subsequently recognized an “awkward and dangerous” mistake. The Union Syndicale Sciences Po Grenoble also widely relayed the case. A few days later, the director of the IEP condemned the posting, while explaining that one of the professors concerned had made “extremely problematic” comments about Islam. The prosecution eventually opened an investigation for “public insult” against seventeen students.
In May, the Minister of Higher Education, Frédérique Vidal, called for “sanctioning” these students for their “unacceptable” behavior. And this, after receiving a report from the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research (IGESR) which called for disciplinary proceedings to be initiated against them. The government had also pointed to the “endangerment” of teachers after posting their students. Despite this, the university’s disciplinary committee unanimously decided otherwise.

these are just some of the deeds of the muslim youth apart from serving asian gangs and participating in noumerous racist and fascist activities of jihad. the impunity is because majorities of the education system has been designed to be such in many countries in europe… after all the teachers and the boards have to worry about being branded islamophobic as a whole school and therefore there is not just impunity but complicity also….

The only hope for France is Zemmour being elected President. I pray he has good personal protection, because certain people know they will become a target, and rightfully so.
VICTOR COWEN says
Yes, As a country and a language France/French is finished as a viable country.
It is now Muslim controlled and is part of the Jihad system…….but we already told you that a long time ago so don’t claim you have not been warned.

To VC: France is struggling to figure out a way to stop Islamic terrorism while being perfectly modern and committed to human rights. This is not an easy problem.
Ultimately, the French government will learn that free speech and an open internet will KILL ISLAM because Islam doesn’t stand up to intellectual scrutiny of the type in which the French universities EXCEL!
French rationalism is more than a match for Islam, but the French government must turn French rationalism loose on Islam like a pack of hounds that will intellectually, morally, and historically rip Islam to shreds.

What is UNEF?

I doubt the teachers said anything remotely ugly unless, heaven forbid, they quoted the Quran.
mortimer says
A KAFIR only needs to ‘mention something impermissible about Islam or the prophet’ and then a death sentence is automatic.
Islam doesn’t actually use the term ‘blasphemy’, because they want to apply the DEATH SENTENCE more broadly. Any open, verbal resistance to Islam requires a DEATH SENTENCE upon the kafir.
There need not be a specific complaint … any complaint will do.
Kenneth J Johnson says
Muslims are so super sensitive that i bet none of these teachers more than commented aboout something in the histoiry.. The students need to be discipllined,,
they need to learn to be careful abou what they say, Freedom of Speech is not license to manufacture commplaimnts aout someone. If this comesfroma greoup ofM>uslem students I smell a conspiriciy. KEN
mortimer says
All of these teachers are now targets for beheading and they will all require 24/7 security to protect them. Will France do that? Or will the French decide that Islam is a TOXIC DEATH CULT that must be philosophically debunked and removed for France?
There is no ‘benign’ Islam, because there is no ‘benign’ DEATH CULT.

A quote in this story illustrates the slimy and dangerous way that academics use the word “problematic.” To call a remark about Islam problematic is a way of avoiding the important question : Is the remark true?
