(Radio France) To avoid possible incidents in the classroom, 49% of teachers in France say they have self-censored their teaching methods when dealing with religious issues.
According to a survey carried out by Ifop published this Wednesday, for the Jean-Jaurès and Charlie Hebdo foundation, auto-censorship among teachers has been steadily rising since 2018.
The report, which comes nearly three months after the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty by a religious fanatic in the Paris suburbs, focuses on “the challenges facing secularism and the religious rhetoric experienced by teachers in the school environment” and is the first part in a series of three surveys on the subject.
