I wish it were just him. Lyon III, a public university, had been infiltrated by Holocaust revisionists, to the point Education minister Jack Lang convened a commission of inquiry in 2001. More generally, there was a far-right group there who believed in a nutjob theory that there was such a thing as a proto-Indo-European civilization that was pure before it was contaminated by (semitic) monotheism, in a sinister echo of Nazi theories of history. While they are a minority (a dozen or so out of a couple hundred), the university administration failed to crack down, and this has apparently not changed.
