Summary

In October 2020, Samuel Paty, a French teacher, was murdered following a false accusation by a 13-year-old student who claimed he’d shown anti-Muslim bias. The girl had made up the story to cover the fact she had been suspended from school for bad behaviour.

In reality, Paty’s lesson on free speech included optional viewing of Charlie Hebdo cartoons, but he hadn’t excluded anyone. The student’s story triggered a social media campaign led by her father, who, along with others, is now on trial for inciting hatred and connections to Paty’s attacker, an 18-year-old radicalized Chechen.

The school will be named the Samuel Paty School from next year.

    So, for example, should we enforce our morality globally with human rights? Or is that white supremacism.

      I just told you there are different moralities in different parts of the world, so then you change the subject and ask a question about something that’s not even relevant. I’m not here to entertain you, your opinions or to answer your questions.

      Reality isn’t even objective, relativity is the rule.

      Also, we can’t even impose a religion’s brand of morality on its own priests, why would you pretend that doing so globally would even be possible?
