Question 9914 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Raphaël Arnault questions the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, about the pressure from far-right networks against the new Education for Emotional, Relational and Sexual Life (ÉVARS) program. Since the publication of the new program, various far-right networks have organized to prevent its implementation. Among them, several collectives and parent associations, which are known for their entry into the school to propagate reactionary ideas and against the values ​​of the Republic. This is particularly the case of a collective, created by a party, whose values, faithful to far-right ideology, are in total contradiction with those of the republican school. This network promotes racist, Islamophobic and LGBTphobic ideas, disseminates false information on the content taught and relays speeches affirming that the school would be corrupted by “wokism” and “Islamization”. These networks launch smear campaigns and misinformation aimed at parents, organize rallies in front of schools and threaten teachers. The new ÉVAR program in schools, as well as that of ÉVARS in middle and high schools, has been strongly criticized by these networks which, since 2024, have led a real offensive to prevent its implementation at the start of the school year in September 2025. Through their far-right media and political relays, as well as through their activism, they have disseminated numerous false information about the program. Among their unfounded accusations, they notably claimed that the latter taught sexual practices to primary school students or that he encouraged gender transitions. These attacks weaken the State's capacity to combat physical and sexual violence against children, as well as to effectively lead the fight for equality between girls and boys, which must start from an early age. However, these networks are very established, including in institutions, since these networks were able to organize a conference within the Senate itself. Several of these Organizations even appealed to the Council of State to obtain the cancellation of the program. Although the Council of State has validated the program's compliance with the law, far-right networks continue their pressure and disinformation campaigns against it. Considering the methods used to impose a climate of terror in schools on this subject, he asks what measures are taken to guarantee freedom teaching and to protect the teaching teams providing ÉVARS.
