A teacher from the Georges-Brassens high school in Évry-Courcouronnes and his father were threatened with death on Monday in a letter left in front of the entrance to the establishment.

The letter refers to the assassination of Samuel Paty, this history-geography professor who was stabbed and then beheaded, on October 16, 2020 near his college in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines).

"An investigation into a death threat with the aggravating circumstance of the victim's true or supposed membership of a specific religion has been opened and entrusted to the Evry-Courcouronnes police station", specifies the Evry prosecution, confirming information from Cnews.

In this letter, the professor and his father, both of the Jewish faith, are threatened "to suffer the same fate as Samuel Paty".

According to our information, these threats are not related to the content of the professor's courses.

A “particularly worrying” letter

The missive, which was seized by investigators, is dated October 7 and was received at the facility on Monday, October 10.

For the head of the establishment

, mentions in the preamble the mail sent by priority letter, anonymous and typed on the computer.

Your teacher sir (name has been crossed out by the authorities) the dirty JEW needs to stop being clever.

We're going to give him a SAMUEL PATY to him and his father, the old Zionist rabbi.

We don't want Jews in high schools, stay in your synagogues.

We're going to take care of (…) when we leave high school.

A threatening letter was sent to a teacher from the Georges-Brassens high school in Evry-Courcouronnes, as well as to his father.

This missive promises them to suffer the same fate as Samuel Paty, beheaded on October 16, 2020.

Asked, the rectorate of the academy of Versailles let it be known that “following the receipt of the threatening letter, the professor accompanied by the head of the establishment lodged a complaint on Monday, October 10”.

“The Versailles Academy and the establishment are fully mobilized in supporting the teacher and all the high school teams and students”, assures the rectorate.

Surveillance has been set up in front of the school, as evidenced by this police car parked this Thursday near the establishment.

“As of Tuesday, rumors were buzzing in the city, confides Ronan Fleury, 10th deputy at Évry-Courcouronnes and former departmental councilor.

I'm not at all surprised, unfortunately.

The Minister of Education has just confirmed an increase in attacks on secularism with 313 reports since the start of the school year.

I think that this figure, already too high, is largely underestimated, many cases should not be reported.

This letter is particularly disturbing, even more so because it also threatens the professor's father, which shows that the author(s) are well informed.

For the chosen one, “there is a coordinated strategy of terror at school”.

“It starts in primary school, insists Ronan Fleury.

Since the assassination, the beheading of Samuel Paty, the teachers know that the threats can be carried out.
