"This is how we are preparing to kill Samuel Paty a second time in the establishments, in all casualness!"

"In a Facebook post shared more than 2,000 times, a philosophy teacher protests against an e-mail sent by the management of the Léon-Blum high school in Creusot (Saône-et-Loire) on Friday, which would present the minute of silence in tribute to the professor assassinated in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on October 16, organized this Monday as optional.

"A minute of silence will be held at 11 am in the large courtyard: students who do not wish to join in will be able to take a break in the upper courtyard towards the workshops before returning to class", is it possible to read in this message, sent Friday October 30, 2020 at 9:39 p.m.

However, the tribute was indeed obligatory in this high school, as in all the schools of the Hexagon.

, Marc Aubert, principal of the Lycée Léon-Blum, confirms that this e-mail has indeed been sent by the management, but corrects: “It [has been] corrected.

The ministry said participation was mandatory.

"And to explain:" I initially started in the 2015 mode [during the tribute organized within solar establishments after the Charlie Hebdo attacks] by prioritizing the serenity and sincerity of the participants to avoid disturbances.

"

The regional daily also publishes the screenshot of a second email, sent Saturday, October 30 at 6:28 pm, in which the head of the establishment underlines the "compulsory nature" of the tribute.

Moreover, "the students who do not have lessons will attend the tribute in the activity room", point the principal in this erratum.
