The minister’s statements also aroused the anger of the unions. “These are provocative and scandalous remarks which certainly show the limits of a minister, who from her first outing, achieved the feat of scoring an own goal,” said the general secretary of Snes-FSU, Sophie Vénétitay. , on France Info Friday night. “She has quite simply brought public schools into disrepute even though she is their minister,” she added.

The investigative media Mediapart had revealed earlier in the day that the minister had chosen to educate her children in this private Catholic establishment, which in 2023 was the subject of an investigation commissioned by the ministry after accusations of homophobic and sexist excesses.
This investigation was opened last February following revelations from the same media. The latter had described in an article “the sexist, homophobic and authoritarian universe of the Parisian Stanislas middle and high school, a private Catholic establishment described as the best high school in France”. The article notably reported “(of) omnipresent homophobic insults, (of) speakers close to La Manif pour tous demanding chastity for homosexual students, and (of) members of the Church invited to praise conversion therapies, now prohibited by law. A report has since been submitted in the summer of 2023 by the General Inspectorate to the Ministry of National Education, which refuses to make it public, according to Mediapart.
