Suspicion of Anti-Semitism in the French Education System: Fifteen students from the prestigious "Yabné" Jewish school in the 13th arrondissement of Paris claim they were treated disrespectfully and intentionally failed after being examined in an oral test as part of their final exams, the French equivalent of the SAT's.

The students were tested at the "Charles de Foucauld" school in the 18th arrondissement of the French capital, and claimed the atmosphere during the test was "tense" and that they felt belittled. According to the French newspaper "Le Figaro", the students' scores ranged from 4 to 8 out of 20, an unusual statistic for the prestigious school whose students are considered among the best in France.

The fifteen students took an advanced exam in scientific subjects and faced a panel of judges from the school they were tested at. The "Yabné" school stated: "This year, the school received warnings from parents about particularly aggressive behavior from the examiners when their children were tested. One of our teachers present at the examination reported conversations filled with stereotypes against the 'Yabné' school students in the staff room." It was also noted that some examiners commented on the clothing of the Jewish high school students.

The school's statement strengthens the suspicion that the humiliating treatment the students received was due to antisemitism against the Jewish school students. "Le Figaro" also reported that the examiners could easily identify the students' school. A source told "Le Figaro" that the education system lacks details about the incident. "The importance of the concern about discrimination against Jewish students should not be underestimated," the source from the Ministry of Education told the newspaper.

French Minister of Education, Nicole Beloubet, wrote on the social network X: "If the allegations are proven true, it will be an intolerable case in our schools. We will launch an investigation and will not rest until we get to the bottom of the truth." Meanwhile, a survey published today by the European Union Human Rights Organization showed that 96 percent of the continent's Jews experienced antisemitism at some point in the past year.
