The Paris town hall announced this Wednesday, January 17 in a press release the temporary suspension of its funding from the Stanislas private establishment, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris and in which the Minister of National Education Amélie Oudéa-Castéra sends her children to school. A decision which comes following the publication of a report denouncing homophobic and sexist “abnormalities” in this school.
Unveiled Tuesday by Mediapart, the report on Stanislas reveals problematic situations. It notes in particular “abnormalities in the application of the association contract” of the establishment with the State, such as for example the obligation to follow catechism classes, which is contrary to the law, for establishments – even Catholics – under contract.
“Drifts” also in the content of these courses, according to the report: speakers would have made homophobic, anti-abortion remarks or promoted conversion therapy, and catechists express “personal convictions which go beyond the positions of the Catholic Church, for example on abortion” or “likely to be criminalized on homosexuality”.
