i can't find anything about this online.
passage from the book I've been reading is
Stultitia delenda est, cette formule latine exprime une haine salutaire, une haine sauvage, sans limite et sans merci pour la connerie : elle doit être détruite.
Was it an existing expression or did the writer felt a strange need to reformulate in Latin what he was writing in French?

I'm not familiar with it as a phrase. However, maybe it's just about delenda est? Cause that bit has quite a history, going back to a famous Roman senator who wanted Carthage to be destroyed. Many politicians and others after him have used similar phrases. So perhaps your author was doing the same.
