Asked to justify herself by the media regarding the registration of her children at Stanislas, a prestigious private Catholic establishment under Parisian contract, the new Minister of National Education defended herself to “Libération” by specifying: “I do not I’m not Catholic.

New Minister of National Education and Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castera has been at the heart of a “controversy” since Friday January 12. Not on his program and his commitments as minister in charge of the training of younger generations but on the fact that his children are educated at Stanislas, a private Parisian Catholic establishment under association contract with the State.

First, the minister explained her “frustration” with her partner at seeing “a lot of hours that were not seriously replaced” in the public school where she had educated her eldest child. “At one point we got fed up like the parents of thousands of families who made the choice to look for a different solution.” “We lived on rue Stanislas, sending our children to Stanislas was a local choice. And since then we have continuously ensured that our children are not only well trained with high standards in mastering fundamental knowledge, they are happy, fulfilled, good friends, safe and confident. she explained, triggering angry reactions from public teachers and many political figures.

Change of footing this Sunday when Libération revealed that the minister had only educated her eldest child for a few months in a public school before taking the necessary steps to enroll him in Stanislas. In everyday life, it is justified in a rather disconcerting way, putting forward first and foremost a geographical solution “because we lived on rue Stanislas”. Before immediately clarifying: “Not for ideological reasons, I am not Catholic”. We had to dare to compare the Catholic faith to an ideology. Let us hope at least that she shares the educational project of the establishment “referred to the Gospel of Christ and the teaching of the Church, is to develop all the talents of our students to accompany them on their path to excellence ”, failing to defend it.
