The student sowed fear in his classroom. Last Friday, a 12-year-old girl made death threats against her teacher at Pierre and Marie Curie College in Dreux, Eure-et-Loir, Le Figaro learned from a police source.
During a class on Islam, the student told his teacher: "If your classes do not please students, the same thing could happen to you as to him," pointing to a photo of Samuel Paty. This history-geography teacher at a college in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine was beheaded in 2020 after showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad to his students.
Repeated provocations
According to our source, the girl repeated her remarks several times, claiming to be well aware that Samuel Paty died "after explaining to his students things they did not like about Islam". His classmates tried to make him aware of the seriousness of his remarks, but to no avail. Summoned by the pedagogical team at the end of the course, the teenager again renewed her provocations.
Deeply shocked, the teacher went to the Dreux police station to file a complaint for "apology of terrorism". The teenager was summoned to be interviewed by the police.
