Beware of the Bare Naked Ladies

A middle-school teacher in France has been threatened by culture-enrichers for showing her class a Renaissance painting featuring bare naked ladies.

The pupils told their parents, who were outraged that the teacher could so blatantly offend their children’s Islamic values. The only acceptable devout religious response was, of course, to threaten the teacher with death. The situation was so alarming that the minister of education paid a visit to the school in an attempt to pour oil on the turbulent waters.

Video transcript:

00:03   Explain it to us, Nicolas: yesterday, the Minister of Education,
00:06   Gabriel Attal, went to the middle school in Issou, in [the department of] Les Yvelines.
00:09   This is where the teachers had exercised their right to retreat,
00:13   after a French teacher had been threatened. —Yes, this is the case of a middle school
00:16   where sixth-grade students rebelled,
00:19   because a teacher dared to show them a painting portraying naked women.
00:23   On location yesterday, Gabriel Attal came to support the teaching staff.
00:28   He affirmed that in French schools, you do not contest authority, you do not contest secularism,
00:32   you do not turn your gaze away from a painting.
00:35   The Minister of Education promised sanctions against the students in this case,
00:40   and the end of the “no problems policy”, the policy which often consists in national education
00:44   denying there are problems. —So what really happened, last Thursday?
00:48   A French teacher showed her sixth-grade students a reproduction
00:51   of a canvas by an Italian painter from the 17th century, portraying a scene from mythology.
00:56   It is Actaeon who surprises the goddess Diana, while she is bathing with her nymphs.
01:00   Several students apparently hid their own faces or turned around to avoid seeing the painting.
01:05   The teacher then unsuccessfully tried to engage in dialogue with her students.
01:09   The case gained momentum, because in this class there was a hour of “school life class”
01:13   that followed, that is, a civic education class, with the principal teacher.
01:17   And her 11- or 12-year-old children protested against this French teacher.
01:22   They accused her of racism. They claimed that she wanted to shock Muslim students,
01:26   by showing them those naked women. In the afternoon,
01:29   the parents of the students meddled in the case, even sending them emails of protest.
01:33   The teacher, who, as they say, is experienced and appreciated, firmly denounced
01:38   these accusations of racism, and is considering filing a complaint today.
01:41   Then all teachers exercised, in solidarity, their “right to retreat”.
01:46   Yes, it is the right to stop working whenever one feels endangered.
01:49   The teachers of this middle school didn’t go to work, on Friday or yesterday.
01:52   They are expected to go back to work, today.
01:55   They will not rehash the incident of last Thursday, in order to avoid, I quote,
01:59   “any political instrumentalization”. But they describe in a letter their dreadful working conditions.
02:04   The middle school headmaster had raised a red flag a few days before the events.
02:08   Yes, on December 1 he had written a shocking letter to the rector’s office of Versailles.
02:11   He had reported the multiple slanderous complaints and the defamation
02:17   coming from students and their parents. The teachers were falsely accused
02:20   of making indecent proposals to the students, or other teachers
02:23   were even accused of sexual assault.
02:26   He talks about an incident that almost deteriorated, when a student
02:30   recently wanted to denounce alleged insults directed at Islam.
02:33   The headmaster describes the consequences of this deleterious environment for the teachers,
02:36   but also for the children. He mentions the students’ discomfort, themselves victims of threats,
02:43   violence, degrading or humiliating treatments from other students.
02:46   The headmaster’s letter ends with a real call for help.
02:50   He writes: “We need reinforcements urgently.”
02:53   He even wrote all this before the events of last Thursday.
02:56   Yesterday, the minister finally seemed to hear the plea. —Yes, he promised
02:59   that from today on, he would make the “Republican Values Teams” come,
03:02   who are staff trained to fight against incivility and attacks on secularism.
03:08   Gabriel Attal also promised surveillance posts but did not say how many.
03:12   For the moment, in this challenging facility attended by nearly 600 students,
03:16   there are only five security guards and one CPE [main education supervisor] who only works 80%.
03:21   It’s not enough to control these students who — I quote again the headmaster —
03:26   are more and more in danger and who can themselves become more and more dangerous.
03:30   These are the explanations of Nicolas Poincaré, every morning, live at 7:50am on AMC,
03:36   and anytime on the RMC app or on podcast.

  1. It’s too bad Christians don’t react at all to their religion being slandered. Christianity is the ONLY belief system that has been demeaned consistently in popular culture, and not just in recent times (think of all the scenarios about evil preachers, cruel nuns, or “Bible-thumpers” who abuse their wives or children- has there ever been a story about a corrupt rabbi?).

  2. So the Muslims have migrated to a country which has values they don’t like? There’s a really simple and easy solution to this: they should go back to a Muslim country. There’s a slightly more difficult solution, which is forcible deportation. Both are excellent solutions, though.

    • “So the Muslims have migrated to a country which has values they don’t like?”

      It’s called “Resettlement Jihad”.

    • That is why bullets and rope are cheap, it keeps the costs of dealing with 3r world savages. Do it enough ,the rest will leave. The more horrific, the better, for this is all they respect and understand, until NONE are left.

    • No hopeof that in UK. Population too stupid and no courage. They’ll just “convert” then report those of us for our actions in trying to defend the country of our fore-fathers. This was done to me ten years ago. I was an “Islamophobe” apparently. Too right I am!

      GB is a nation of wetwipes these days. They’ll love sharia!

  3. I would be reassured if I knew the teacher was not also showing the children hard core porn photos from 2023 for them to “discover and celebrate their sexuality” by means of comparing “artworks”. After finding out their preferred pronouns first, of course.

    It may well be not only the kids who cannot tell the difference between titillating porn and Art.

    Btw, it is not 30 years since George Bush Jr sniggered to one of his entourage when Putin was showing him some Russian nude painting during a Bush visit to Russia. I saw it on TV. Now Bush was coming off an Anglo Christian background of sorts.

    So if a Muslim child in France in 2023 feels the shame/embarrassment at naked ladies that Bush felt, it has a good chance of becoming US President one day too, provided the Democrat voting fodder keeps on streaming in, irony: off

  4. Beautiful ladies in the painting. In times of scarcity fat and muscular is beautiful.

    There is an old saying in Eastern Europe, from the Middle Ages: “The poor die yellow, the rich die red”. Meaning that in the medieval period starvation and bad diet often resulted in liver diseases (yellow skin) for the peasants, while the rich often ate too much, which caused blood pressure problems (red skin) and they usually died of stroke.

    Islam is an abomination, by the way.

  5. The only proper response is to have the police beat the hell out of the parents, and make it publicly known that anyone that threatens a teacher will go to jail. And if they attack a teacher they will be punished harshly. Europe needs to reintroduce the death penalty. The only thing most of the moslem migrants respect is threat of death and dismemberment.

    • Most of the cops have “reverted”…..No hope there. They impose sharia and diversity these days. UK is finished and a complete sick joke. The Brits deserve it too. No sympathy. Thousands of their own relatives have died from a certain medical prick. Nobody cares, even about their own closest kin. Screw them! Such an utterly selfish population.

  6. Savages !! Nothing else !, and this coming from their homes , so bring them more to Europe because is not enough diversity, absolutely disgusting..

  7. When the image of a human body offends a person, then all doubt is removed that such person is a savage.
    islam, the very most evil curse of SATAN.
