France’s Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has said a teenage girl will be sued by the state for falsely accusing her headteacher of striking her in a heated exchange over her wearing an Islamic head-covering.
The head teacher insisted that the pupil remove her head-covering inside the school, in accordance with French law.
He resigned after death threats circulated on social media.
The Islamist threat to French schools is taken extremely seriously since the murder of two teachers.
