Samuel Paty

But it's just getting worse because it cannot contain all the issues linked to immigration.

Like, it's a fact that there are mainly not enough teachers in some high schools of the suburbs, for instance, but just maybe the teachers don't really want to work in a place where they can end up as Samuel Paty, you know, like beheaded by some Islamist guy.

And also the level is really worse.

In the PISA rankings, France is just falling more and more.

July 2016, Bastille Day in Nice, a truck driven into a crowd, 86 dead.

And since we're told this is about schools, October 2020, a school teacher named Samuel, Samuel Paty, showed his class cartoons in a lesson about free speech, and he was beheaded outside his school.

Beheaded in France.

October 2023, another teacher, Dominique Bernard, stabbed to death at his own school in Arras.

Instead of protecting French Jews, the government and media leaned into Islamist rhetoric.

In twenty twenty, French history teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded for teaching freedom of speech.

His murderers' sentences were reduced earlier this year.

In twenty twenty-four, a twelve-year-old Jewish girl was gang-raped by teenagers hurling anti-Semitic slurs.

I'd attended public school there in the nineteen-eighties and always dreamed of returning.

Stéphane quickly dashed those hopes.

Since Samuel Paty's murder, he explained, teachers were reluctant to teach history, leaving children to learn from radical Islamist videos online.

This is what no one reports about the current riots in France.

In this story, they talked about things like, for example, it appears like this is a high school, uh, you know, kids in high schools.

E- except he said one thing, high school students seeking better education conditions have no reason to wave Palestinian flags or shout, "Free Palestine," or "The children of Gaza." Why would they be yelling that if they were really looking for better education conditions? And why would the hatred that they have spill over onto assaulting and murdering two, uh, teachers? Uh, one Samuel Paty was beheaded in 2020, and Dominique Bernard had his throat slit in 2023.

This was the first time in France so many police officers, teachers, firefighters, and firetrucks have been attacked during riots.

Not only have the Palestinian cause, but also the Islamic terrorism happened.
