L'Education mise à nu

    

There's a mini polemic on in France right now about a series of photographs depicting professors (apparently real professors-- call me, Monsieur X--) in their birthday suits to protest the "dépouillement" (or dispossession-- literally: plucking) of the education system in France. These photographs are part of a calendar which you can see in its entirety here. On the news the other day, some conservative bureaucrat was complaining that these photographs "dévalorisaient la profession [d'enseignant]" [devalued the teaching profession]. What do you think?

Je remarque que tu n'as pas choisi le plus moche. ;))

I find it a bit weird. How exactly naked parts are devaluing a profession, especially when it's used as a protest?

As for me, I simply say, Viva la France, where there is not only protest but stylish protest with humor!
