Le Monde and Le Figaro report that three students from the Louis-Armand High School at Poitiers were excluded for eight days for harassing one of their comrades, who is not Jewish, with anti-Semitic and revisionist taunts. They made jokes about Auschwitz and told the victim that he would be gassed.
It all began in October 2014 when a student saw an anti-Semitic-inscription on the pencil case of another student ("Jewish = burnt") and asked him if he was aware of the significance of what he had written. "You defend the Jews, you are a Jew," replied the kit owner. He and two other schoolboys then began harrassing him.
They acted as if the boy was Jewish and the bullying went on verbally and by text messages for a few months. The teenager finally spoke out and the three students involved immediately confessed.
The victim's parents reported the incitement to the police. The owner of the kit who seems to be the instigator will appear before a juvenile judge on charges of racist abuse, anti-Semitism and death threats.
