Lesbian school principal jumps to her de@th after campaign of hom0phobic abuse

A school principal in France took her own life by jumping off a cliff on the first day of term after a campaign of hom0phobic abuse.  Caroline Grandjean, 42, reportedly contacted France’s su!cide helpline hours before she jumped 30 metres off a steep hill near Anglards-de-Salers in Cantal, where she lived.  According to Mail Online, the woman had been subjected to hom0phobic harassment and death threats at the small nursery school where she taught in Moussages, a village with a population of 300.  It was gathered that someone in the village discovered that she was married to a woman and began the hateful campaign.  The first incident occurred in December 2023 when she discovered the words ‘dirty d**e’ on the wall of the school.   She filed a complaint, but three months later more homophobic graffiti appeared, this time saying ‘d**e = pedophile’, according to Le Parisien.  Overall, she filed five complaints to the authorities and the police launched an investigation, but the harassment still continued.  Other slogans started cropping up around the school grounds, with one saying: ‘Get out of here d**e.’ Eventually, the teacher even saw death threats such as: ‘Go die, you dirty d**e.’ The bullying got so severe that Grandjean did not return to teach at the nursery for the new school year in 2024.   She did not feel supported by the institution, which apparently asked her to change school, before encouraging her to switch position when she refused. It is understood that Grandjean attempted suicide in recent months before taking her own life on September 1.  She contacted the national suicide prevention line at around 10:30am local time before jumping off the cliff. Because the authorities had been alerted, police were able to quickly locate her body.   Her experience suffering abuse was documented by French comic book author Remedium (real name Christophe Tardieux) in a short work called ‘Cas d’cole’ in January 2025. Following the news of her death, he told Le Parisien: ‘I am in shock. Her wife contacted me at the end of the day to tell me the terrible news. It’s a waste and I have the impression that nothing was done to prevent it. ‘Recently, there has been an accumulation of several events that have reinforced her feeling of injustice.  ‘First, the dismissal of her complaint, and then the promotion of the national education inspector who, according to her, had not really supported her throughout this affair.  ‘There is a message in the fact that she chose this date at the start of the school year to take her own life.’ The Ministry of National Education said it was ‘deeply affected by the tragic death of a school teacher in Cantal’, adding that ‘it is a tragedy that has aroused deep emotion within the educational community’. Primary school unions in France such as FSU-SNUipp and S2DEs are demanding an administrative inquiry following the suicide of the teacher. Reacting to the tragedy of her death, a furious union spokesperson described how she was ‘crushed by the institution and by her village.  The post Lesbian school principal jumps to her de@th after campaign of hom0phobicabuse appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
