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.

      A religious organisation agreeing to keep out of politics is fascist?

        I cannot believe I need to spell this out for you.

        Nazis are fascists.

            Papists are fascists. And kiddy-fuckers.

              You still didn’t show anything to imply that the Vatican endorsed the holocaust.

                The Vatican has it’s own Holocausts to account for. What’s one more between friends?
