For several weeks now, parents of students at the Simone-Veil school in Champigny-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne) have been struggling to get resources for students experiencing difficulties. But they never imagined that the struggle to get an AESH (assisted student with disabilities) would end in a dispute with three public highway monitoring agencies in their city. While three banners were recently pasted on the front and gates of the building by the mobilized mothers, three ASVPs forced the parents to withdraw their demands.
It read “SOS AESH” and “Schools need AESH”. Messages that offended city officials who intervened when parents gathered in front of the school. They considered that the message, which was written “the color of blood”, caused confusion with the name of the terrorist organization. “That’s what Daesh seems to be saying,” they argued to the parents, unaware that the “D” in the sentence might obscure the message on one of the banners.
