Teacher Assaulted Over Religious Attire Dispute in Montreuil School

A Montreuil physical education teacher was attacked by a student after requesting the removal of clothing deemed religious by authorities.

The incident occurred at Lycée Jean-Jaurès in Montreuil, where a student slapped her teacher during a disagreement over her attire.
The rectorate of Créteil confirmed the clothing had religious connotations, though it was not identified as an abaya.
The teacher has filed a complaint and is currently on medical leave, with the support of the Education Nationale's functional protection.
The student has been suspended pending a disciplinary hearing, with political figures calling for strict measures against violence in schools.
The situation has sparked debate on laïcité, with differing opinions among teachers and media about the religious nature of the garment.
