Girl’s Dad threatens to k!ll headteacher for enforcing abaya dress ban at French school

One man whose daughter was sent home twice from the her school reportedly threatened to kill the headteacher for imposing an abaya dress ban at a French school.

The Dad of the French high school student is said to have made the death threats through a phone conversation.

It was gathered that the daughter attends Ambroise-Brugière High School in Clermont-Ferrand, which has nearly 1,300 students.

The school girl was asked to go home from the school gates twice after she refused to follow the new government’s policy on dress code.

According to reports gathered, the first occasion, the student wore the abaya, a loose-fitting long robe, to school but was sent back home.

But on Thursday, when she showed up to school again wearing an abaya, she was prohibited from entering the school compound.

The school’s action triggered anger from her father, and he ended up calling the headteacher to seek an explanation before allegedly making the death threats.

The school swiftly alerted the National Education hierarchy, and a lodged a complain.

Since the incident happened, the man has been whisked to the Clermont-Ferrand police station and is under police custody while inquiries continue.

Gabriel Attal, Minister of National Education and Youth of France, has also shown support for the headteacher for following the government protocol.

The new dress code ban came into effect this week on Wednesday, 4th of September, 2023
