A modernized but considered too adult version of the story “Beauty and the Beast” arrived at National Education, which canceled an order of 800,000 illustrated pounds for CM2, denounced the author of the book, designer Jul, this Wednesday, March 19.
Jul, of his real name Julien Berjeaux, known as Lucky Luke’s screenwriter or designer of “Silex and the City”, deplored a “political decision” of “censorship”, for “fallacious pretexts” according to him.
Question about the question this Thursday morning about CNEWS/Europe 1, National Minister of Education Elisabeth Borne justified this decision to cancel the order for the fact that this version of the story is, according to her, “not adapted” to 10 -year -old students “without educational support.”
The author of the comic “Jul has a lot of talent, handles irony, the second degree. But without educational support, I think that is not adequate. But it is a very beautiful book that can be used in another environment,” said the minister.
