Sunday for his political return to Cannes, Éric Zemmour denounced, among other things, a “great indoctrination” of students at school. According to him, “LGBT and anti-racist propaganda have been open to National Education for years or even decades” and “indoctrinate our children”, he launched a little later on CNews.
Éric Zemmour asked his supporters to establish a “national network of vigilant parents” supposed to “report the aberrations of which his children are victims at school”, in particular on gender issues which are the subject of recurring controversies fueled by the right and the extreme right.
Pap Ndiaye, the Minister of Education, estimated this Monday on France info that these “are the words of a professional in the controversy who does not think of the interests of children, but who thinks of his political career, d ‘elsewhere in bad shape’. And to add: “It does not interest me”.
“We need to talk about sex education at school”
Ndiaye recalled, however, that there were other priorities. “We must talk about sex education at school,” he argued, noting that this teaching topic was provided for by law. But he noted in this regard that there were “great variations according to classes, schools and territories”.
The Minister also underlined the importance of National Education to help public health objectives, such as reducing teenage pregnancies or combating sexually transmitted diseases, but also “more general objectives related to discrimination, the fight against sexual and gender-based violence, linked to the fight against LGBT phobias, and inequalities between girls and boys”.
