In recent days, several threats have been directed at education sector staff, particularly in the departments of Haute-Garonne and Gironde in southern France. Sophie Vénétitay, general secretary of Snes-FSU, a teachers' union, described the situation as contributing to "a climate where one feels very alone." She made this statement on Tuesday, September 15, on the Franceinfo radio station, following reports of threats against teachers in towns such as Fauga near Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), Véron in Yonne, and Eysines in Gironde. Vénétitay noted that over the past two to five years, there has been a growing perception that teachers could face insults or even more serious acts at any time, for a variety of reasons. She described this trend as deeply unsettling and difficult to bear for educators, who are now constantly on edge. She explained that some families seem to feel emboldened to target teachers, as if social barriers have broken down and the traditional respect for teachers' roles has diminished. This tension, she said, can affect how teachers perform their jobs. For instance, teachers might hesitate to make certain remarks or decisions in the classroom, fearing backlash from students' parents. When asked about a recent government decree that allows for the relocation of students in cases where their parents make serious threats, Vénétitay said the measure is not a complete solution. While it sends a clear message to parents, she pointed out that it does not prevent them from returning to the school and continuing to target teachers.
