FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

The French word for "furnace" (four) bears a highly emotionally charged connotation in France. Therefore, many of the Jewish community members refuse to view the teacher's remark toward a Jewish student as an innocent slip of the tongue.

Not being a frenchie, or able to speak french, I can't fairly comment on the incedent.

...schoolteacher seeking to punish a Jewish student proposed that the boy "go to a furnace,"

Obviously, the teacher is very unaware of the last outcome of young Hebrew men being "sent" into a furnace.

Do you really think so?

Sounds more like a sick joke to me.

I do, and can.

French racism is prevalent. It is not uncommon to hear "Sale Juif!" and "Sale Arab!" ("Dirty Jew!", "Dirty Arab!") among even otherwise respectable people.

On the other hand, French Catholic schools should not be compared to American ones. French Catholic schools are poorer and the education worse than at French Public schools.

I would imagine (though can't prove from the article) that this Jewish kid was in a Catholic school only because his local public school was probably predominently arab.

Not Daniel--He was the one droped in with the Lions.

It was Hananiah, Azariah & Misahael, otherwise known as Shadrach, Meshach & Abed-Nego.

"student's parents file criminal complaint "

Ah, progressive French law. Words can be a criminal offense.
