An anti-Semitic incident took place in a Catholic high school in Paris, according to a watchdog group. The National Office of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism reported that a Jewish student was reprimanded in late January for talking in class and as punishment was sent to wait outside the school building in the cold, referred to in French slang as “the fridge.” According to witnesses, after the student went outside, the teacher said to the class, “If there’s not room in the fridge there’s always room in the oven.”
