“School must remain this bulwark against obscurantism,” says Macron
In the light of a day of tribute to Dominique Bernard, professor killed in Arras and Samuel Paty, assassinated three years ago, Emmanuel Macron posted a message on Twitter.
“We have acted, we are acting and we will continue to act to ensure that our School remains a sanctuary for our students and for all those who work there. Stronger than pain, pain and sorrow, the School must remain this bulwark against obscurantism. It will remain so,” says the president.
Macron calls for a “ruthless state towards all those who carry hatred”
Emmanuel Macron asks that the prefects comb through the file of radicalized people likely to be expelled to ensure that there has been no “overlooking” in the examination of the procedures. The President of the Republic wants his ministers to “embody a ruthless State towards all those who carry hatred and terrorist ideologies,” said an advisor. The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, is also invited to study a “specialized approach for young men from the Caucasus in the 16-25 age group”. More information in our article.
Another tribute, to Samuel Paty
The day is also dedicated to the memory of history and geography teacher Samuel Paty, beheaded on October 16, 2020 by a radicalized young person after showing caricatures of Mohammed in class.
Two hours of discussions
The first two hours of class, generally between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., are devoted to a discussion between teachers to take stock of the situation and prepare for welcoming students for the rest of the day.
