Former pupils demand apology from Irish school over Nazi teacher’s bullying
There was never any mystery about the fact that Louis Feutren, a French teacher at St Conleth’s school in south Dublin, was a Nazi collaborator.
He had a taste for violent punishments and bizarre humiliations that terrorised pupils. He liked to reminisce about the second world war, when he had joined a Breton nationalist group that fought on the side of Germany. And he showed pictures of himself in uniform.
To have a staff member who was a known Nazi collaborator and fugitive from French justice was accepted at St Conleth’s, which employed Feutren from 1957 until his retirement in 1985. He remained respected and feted as an educator until his death in 2009.
Now, however, former pupils who endured and witnessed assaults by Feutren have demanded an apology from the school’s board of management.
Uki Goñi, a writer who attended St Conleth’s between 1968 and 1971, launched the campaign to shine a light on the teacher and the culture that excused his history and behaviour. “I learned the first day I was there that he was a Nazi. It was just normalised,” he said on Tuesday.
In a letter to the board, Goñi, a journalist who writes for the Guardian and has written books about Nazi “ratlines” to Latin America, asked board members to apologise for the actions of their predecessors. “We cannot be judged for the behaviour of those who came before us, but that doesn’t absolve us from distancing ourselves from that past today,” he wrote in the letter, which included testimony from other former pupils.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is known to be supporting the spinners. The venue has hosted numerous games in IPL and the spinners have ruled the roost in those outings. This was also the venue for the India vs Australia contest in the ongoing World Cup, which was won by the hosts.
However, as seen in that game, batting was not an easy task. Australia were bowled out for 199 as the Indian spinners combined to pick 6 wickets. There was something in it for speedsters too as seen in India's chase when Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc reduced India to 2/3.
Notably, chasing is an easier thing than batting first here. This is due to the ball turning under the sun and the dew coming later to make it easy to chase.
