Teacher at François-Villon College Files Complaint Against Students for Death Threats

Incident Details

On Tuesday, April 23, around 3 p.m., during a class at François-Villon college in Paris's 14th arrondissement, a teacher faced death threats from two students. The students made threatening gestures, including miming slitting their throats. The Paris public prosecutor's office, as of now, has not released any information about the ongoing investigation.

Actions Taken by School Authorities

The Paris rectorate confirmed that one 5th grade student was permanently excluded from the class after making a throat-slitting gesture. Later, another student was also excluded for similar behavior. The rectorate has initiated precautionary measures against both students, pending future disciplinary councils. The teacher has been promised functional protection and psychological support.

Broader Context and Psychological Impact

These gestures have raised concerns among the teaching staff, especially considering recent violent incidents against educators in France. The school community is reportedly shaken, and there is a strong sense of solidarity among the teachers. An internal investigation is expected to further clarify the events.

Additional Incident

This event follows another recent attack at Bellevue College in Toulouse, where a teacher was assaulted by a 14-year-old student. This series of violent incidents highlights the growing concerns over teacher safety in French schools.
