Samuel Paty believed in the power of education to open minds

found his lessons boring—though it was hard to think that even teenagers would be turned off by history, geography or moral and civic education—Samuel Paty liked to pep them up. Art was a good way to do it. For the centenary of the Armistice in November 2018 he took over the art room, spread a white sheet on the floor, and picked seven pupils from, all 14 or 15, to make a splattering mess on it with paint, to represent the war.

In class, though, he taught with passionate energy, especially on Athenian democracy and the French revolution. He was strict with his pupils, but he cared about them, and had regularly phoned their homes during lockdown to check they were. Since many were Muslim, he went for a day-course last November at the Institut du Monde Arabe to get a little more into their world.

This time the backlash was furious. A number of Muslim parents objected, and one filed a complaint to the police. He also posted a video on Facebook to mobilise others, identifying who the teacher was and calling him a, a thug: “He should no longer teach our children. He should go and educate himself.” A known Islamist agitator, Abdelhakim Sefrioui, came to the school and made a video decrying “irresponsible and aggressive behaviour”.

A religion that fosters violence has no place in society. Decent people must get together and remove this cancer.

Sounds like he couldn't master the primitives.

सर मैं और मेरी पत्नी 100% दृष्टिहीन है और एक रियल एस्टेट कंपनी ने मकान की रजिस्ट्री में देरी के लिए 512500रु. का ब्याज लगाया है किंतु देरी का मुख्य कारण कोरोना और सम्पत्ती के मूल दस्तावेज सम्पत्ती के स्थान पर ना होना है, करपीया इस आर्थिक शोषण से बचाने की कृपा करें। PM Modi Ji.

BLM! Did Athenian democracy work for Black Greeks as Western democracy is working for Black Americans? Pretty sure White Greeks were laughing all the way to the bank like White Americans are doing today!

Such a tragedy. May he never be forgotten.

hahaha this terrorist islamophobe pattty believes in hate, crusade and islamophobe .

Well where did his beleive landed him and got his own neck opened instead

An open mind and Islamism are totally incompatible.

Samuel Paty murder was tragic and unnecessary. However, what he did was offensive to Muslims whose love for their prophet is stronger than their love for their parents or even themselves. Would any student in class consider insulting his mother or father to be free speech!!

He should've taught people how to respect each other. By insulting people he just got their reaction. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

It's both sad and ironic that ideas like free speech and tolerance were supposed to end violence, hatred and extremism

Moses, Jesus and Muhammad must be respected, because they taught us the love of humanity, morals, mercy, humanity, faith and message. Not bad words, insulting them means breaking our hearts (we must respect people and their religions, people must be respected in all their colors.

Why U didn;t use Jesus comic to teach

He dies because he was not protected by the police while being threatened.

Open minds towards hate and Islamophobic

Open minds, hope French or any others will not start telling such open minds to each other, or we'll have civil wars between all open minds peoples

But something is off, this teacher as I read he was interested in Islamic history and about Islam in general.

his 'mind' was opened.

DrOkonjoEwealaDGWT0

But he showed a caricature! Worthless!

of course a negative representation of your civil right is considered ' powerful ', especially when indoctrinating islamophobia in schools.

thanks for this news

What minds he was showing drawings that insults others religion? is this what opens minds

Do you believe that Economist? Or you are a liberal censorship platform?

“ Thou shalt not kill “

“ Murder most foul “

Que en paz descanse. RIP.

Education? Insulting the greatest personality of the earth is education? Why discussion on holocaust is banned? Isn't it a freedom of speech?

Marikacobbold He sounds like an incredible teacher these children were lucky to have. An absolute tragedy on many levels.

Or close them with enhanced rational and superiority, like the British aristocracy!

Modern day martyr. RIP gentle soul 💗

All religions are man made political tools to control the population. They use blasphemy to stop questions and critics.
