No idea where you can access official History curriculum, it’s just a memory from class, maybe it’s even my teacher who told us that and it wasn’t from the book.
I’m going to look what liberal sources claim about the subject but for now it’s “trust me bro”
Funnily they actually dunk on the collaborators myths that the Germans were an invincible army of doom. But their explanation for the defeat is that the generals were boomers who thought that the war would be just like WW1. Silly old French generals not knowing what tanks and planes do!

Edit : Okay found a source in French, interview by a “History professor” from number one fascist military school that loves revisionism. https://www.france24.com/fr/20200510-défaite-de-1940-l-armée-française-mal-préparée-une-légende-construite-par-vichy
