DEBRIEFING – “On April 30, I decided to make my sanction public. On the teachers’ wall it is written that I am absent for personal reasons – that is a lie.” Professor René Chiche, associate professor of philosophy, was sanctioned by the National Education for messages published on the social network Twitter.
Three months of suspension, the sanction is heavy and challenges since in addition to his functions as a teacher, René Chiche is also vice-president of the Action & Democracy union, member of the Superior Council of Education (CFE-CGC).
As the baccalaureate approaches, his students risk suffering from this suspension since it will be difficult to find a replacement for him.
In this debriefing, he evokes the reasons and the context of this decision, put into perspective with the numerous suspensions and sanctions against health professionals. Philosophy traditionally defends freedom of expression and critical thinking, so necessary for psychic construction. A discipline under threat?
