The principal of the Parisian school group Maurice-Ravel (20th century) decided to leave and anticipate his retirement by a few months. It follows the death threats he received on the Internet after his altercation, at the end of February, with a BTS student whom he had asked to remove her veil.
“It took on proportions that it should never have taken,” testifies a final year student at the Ravel high school. Wednesday evening, after the wave of indignation sparked by the departure, Gabriel Attal announced a complaint for “slanderous denunciation” against the young woman.
