Molenbeek teacher suspended for showing naked cartoon of prophet Mohammed

(Brussels Times) A teacher was suspended from a municipal primary school in Molenbeek, Brussels, after showing a cartoon depicting the prophet Mohammed naked.

The teacher was teaching a class on civic spirit to sixth-grade pupils and passed around a tablet, reportedly asking pupils who took offence to look away.

The drawing in question was one by Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Coco, depicting the prophet on his knees and naked, with a yellow star on his buttocks and the words “A star is born” above it.

Parents of children in the class testified to school management about what had happened based on what their kids told them, according to Bruzz.
