France Orders Inquiry After School Director’s Suspected Suicide Following Lesbophobic Harassment

The education ministry has tasked the IGESR with reviewing how months of lesbophobic threats were handled after a prior criminal case failed to identify any perpetrator.

C'est au sein du village de Moussages, connu par les randonneurs des volcans d'Auvergne que Caroline Granjean a été victime d'insultes homophobes à répétition.

Overview

  • Caroline Grandjean, 42, director of the single-class school in Moussages (Cantal), was found dead on September 1 near Anglards-de-Salers after attempting to contact the national suicide prevention line.
  • Gendarmes and the Aurillac prosecutor confirm an apparent suicide, with a local judicial inquiry opened to establish the circumstances and no suicide note recovered so far.
  • The teacher had filed multiple complaints over repeated homophobic tags and death threats since late 2023; a 2024 criminal investigation was closed in March 2025 without identifying suspects.
  • The education ministry has activated support cells and opened an IGESR administrative investigation as the rectorat cites granted protection fonctionnelle and a monitored plan for her return.
  • Teacher unions and LGBTQ+ groups accuse the institution of failing to protect staff and demand accountability, with Grandjean’s funeral set for Thursday and a Paris gathering announced for Friday.
