At the Saint-Vincent de Paul vocational school in Versailles (Yvelines), we work in “trust, benevolence and high standards”, says the website of this private Catholic establishment which trains its students in sales and customer relations.
The slogan has just taken a hit in the wing.
The principal, "thinking to do well", according to the direction of the catholic education, sent in this re-entry an email to her professors, asking them all out of the blue ... their vaccination status.
"Thank you in advance for telling me by return email whether or not you are vaccinated against Covid", we can read in the letter addressed to the teachers. He continues as follows: “I remind you that, like the students, unvaccinated teaching staff cannot have lunch in the teachers' room. They can enter and stay there as long as they keep the mask on. Clearly, here are the teachers without a double dose forbidden to eat their sandwich in the holy of holies, the teachers' room! Families were also told that their unvaccinated children would not be able to enter the cafeteria.
So many measures totally outside the framework: the health pass is not required in schools, regardless of the level or age of the students.
Admittedly, the families of middle school and high school students received in this re-entry forms proposing to them to enroll their child in the vaccination campaign underway in the National Education.
But no obligation is placed on them to respond favorably, or to justify a possible refusal.
" It was a mistake "
“In any case, establishments are not asked to identify who is vaccinated or not.
The vaccination status of staff and students is a matter of medical confidentiality!
»Strangles Sylvie Turowski, national secretary of Synep-CFE-CGC, who alerted the two supervisory authorities of the establishment, the rectorate of Versailles and the diocesan authorities to the incident.
This Wednesday evening, the direction of Catholic education let it be known that the Saint-Vincent de Paul high school has sent a corrective letter to families and teachers.
" It was a mistake.
This establishment is very small, it is the smallest private high school in Yvelines.
Management was afraid of a cluster.
But a correction has been sent: everyone will be able to have access to the cafeteria.
The school will open additional rooms so that everyone can have lunch.
"
Not an isolated case?
The quack falls badly, while the tension against the health pass and the vaccination of teenagers is gaining ground in schools, all over France, and is spreading on social networks in the anti-vax and anti-pass spheres. So this father of a student, also a teacher, in Brest, who gets annoyed: “A teacher of my daughter asked everyone in the class if he was vaccinated, it is not possible. It's discrimination ! "
If the teaching unions of the public have to date not identified a blunder of this type, the Synep-CFE-CGC, in private education, ensures that other uncontrolled slippages have been reported to it in recent days. “A teacher was refused access to her training in the diocese because she was not vaccinated,” assures Sylvie Turowski. And other heads of establishments have sent emails to find out the vaccination status of teachers. "
