Health pass and school: "We want a clear and healthy health policy for our children"

2021-07-26T11:30:33.920Z


FIGAROVOX / TRIBUNE - The extension of the health pass was definitively adopted last night in Parliament. If it does not apply to teachers, it instructs them to monitor the virological status of their students, believes Marie Girard, who refuses the alternative of a health pass or closure ...


Marie Girard is a preparatory class teacher and member of the national office of Action & Démocratie.

Since Monday, July 12, 2021, not only conflicts in families, between employees and their boss, have raged, but also between the various professions that make up the body of the nation.

Make no mistake, would the population be fully in favor of this idea of ​​a "health pass" and not be divided on the subject, the very idea of ​​transferring the surveillance process to a part of the population is an incredible source of division: there will now be supervised and supervisors who will exchange their roles according to circumstances, the waiter will control the cashier who will control the waiter two hours later.

We will not come back here to the arguments given against the installation of this "health pass" such as, for example, the violation of medical confidentiality and the putting under control of the population.

We only wish not to take advantage of the fact that we are teachers and staff of the National Education, until further notice, exempt from vaccination, to keep silent.

And we, teachers of National Education until further notice, are exempt from vaccination, like the police!

Marie Girard

It is claimed that only health professionals are subject to compulsory vaccination. Never mind, the list of professions subject to such an obligation is long: employees in the restaurant business, those in the hotel industry, musicians and actors, employees of supermarkets, certain transport employees and others still. All will be, without further ado, deprived of their job if they refuse to comply with the vaccination obligation. Surprisingly, are subject to this obligation those who for many months have suffered the effects of crazy decisions taken in the name of health and the protection of society, those who have been declared in a collective madness as non-essential and those who, the night, continued to fill the supermarket shelves so that we could fill our bellies.

And we, teachers of National Education until further notice, are exempt from vaccination, like the police!

Let’s not be mistaken.

We absolutely reject the generalization of the "health pass" to schools and we defend the freedom to immunize.

But we want to alert public opinion to this oddity that a 12-year-old child will not be able to go to the cinema without having been vaccinated but will be able to go to school without difficulty.

It must be said that the National Education had already struggled to recruit a thousand replacement teachers, disguising this bitter failure with the virtuosity that we know as a major national effort!

Marie Girard

Let us put forward a few orders of magnitude: 2771 personnel declared positive out of the 1,162,850 personnel in the National Education system in April blocked the system: that is to say only 0.2 4% of the personnel! It must be said that the National Education had already struggled to recruit a thousand replacement teachers, disguising this bitter failure with the virtuosity that we know as a major national effort! Unable to replace a handful of school teachers who were not sick but declared positive, the National Education, under pressure from local elected officials who could no longer manage street children, preferred to close the 61,500 French schools.

Even if teachers are driven by an unfailing sense of civic duty and by their awareness of the indefinite progress of science, it is likely that there are many more than a few thousand reluctant teachers in France. to get vaccinated.

It is also to bet that the wonderful salaries that are ours and the wonderful working conditions that the whole of France envies us to the point that candidates flock to sit for the teaching competition, will have great difficulty in retaining these teachers. recalcitrant who will allow themselves to be fired without much resistance.

Since the night of July 22 to 23, 2021, under the law relating to "the management of the health crisis", medical confidentiality will be violated even within schools.

Marie Girard

Would we be, of the State, this armed arm in charge of psychological control of the population? It is true that it would be a shame if the entire school population were deprived of these workshops run by volunteer teachers "to fight against information poisoning on vaccination and to help inform this decision".

Since the night of July 22 to 23, 2021, under the law relating to "

the management of the health crisis

", medical confidentiality will be violated even within schools. From now on, school heads and "

the persons they designate for this purpose

" will have access to the "

virological status of the pupils, to the existence of contacts with infected persons

" (amendment n ° 1175 voted on first reading at the National Assembly). We, National Education staff, will therefore be called upon to know and manage the state of health of our students.

Would we therefore be the armed arms of a State which, unable to take responsibility for its decisions, is discarding itself on its population to enforce its own iniquitous measures which it has neither the courage nor the means to enforce?

The question arises every day more nagging for us, paid by the nation to be at its service: up to what limit can we accept that our action in the service of the common good is perverted to the point of transforming us into agents of a power in vain to enslave his people?

We only reiterate our absolute refusal to let ourselves be locked into this deadly alternative of the "health pass" or the threat of closure caused by a health policy that is changing and illegible to say the least.

Marie Girard

Unless, and this is very likely, political speech having been trampled once again and at the highest point of the state, the scientific council which steers the decisions of the government calls for the compulsory vaccination of teachers after claiming that the School was not a place of contamination. The Action & Democracy union will then implement all possible means to defend the freedom of National Education staff.

We are already hearing from those who would accuse us of flanking or irresponsible. We only want to tell them that we are one of the thousands of teachers and heads of establishments who for months, have worked with all their weight to allow their students to study in schools in the best possible conditions by attempting to implement the changing and ugly recommendations of the ministry. Let us also remember that we have spoken publicly to oppose the closure of our schools. We only reiterate our absolute refusal to let ourselves be locked into this deadly alternative of the “health pass” or the threat of closure caused by a health policy that is changing and illegible to say the least. In April,a sudden change in the rules - of three positive cases, the ministry having suddenly decided to switch to a positive case to close a class - had made the management of schools so chaotic that we had preferred to close all schools. Let us stop transforming our schools into relays for our hospitals or our nursing homes. We sincerely call for a clear and healthy policy to be applied at last, making it possible to educate our children in a peaceful environment.We sincerely call for a clear and healthy policy to be applied at last, making it possible to educate our children in a peaceful environment.We sincerely call for a clear and healthy policy to be applied at last, making it possible to educate our children in a peaceful environment.
