The principal of the Maurice Ravel school campus in the twentieth arrondissement of Paris left his position on Friday March 22. He received numerous death threats on the internet for asking a student to remove her veil in February.

The ex-headmaster for his part justified his withdrawal by evoking in an email sent to the internal messaging system his “security” and that of the “establishment” “I finally made the decision to leave my duties as principal for safety for myself, and for the establishment,” we can read in this message.
