• Samuel Paty, the professor of history and geography beheaded in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Friday October 16, after showing caricatures of Mahomet in progress, was he facing sanctions from the Academy of Versailles?

• This is what affirms a rumor widely relayed on social networks based on the (misinterpreted) extract from an article in Le

  Point

  .

• No sanction was planned against Samuel Paty, according to the territorial intelligence services, the Academy of Versailles and the Minister of Education.

Since the assassination, Friday, October 16, of Samuel Paty, the history and geography teacher beheaded in Conflans Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines) after showing caricatures of Mohammed to his students during a course on freedom of expression , shock and dread are not the only dominant feelings on social media.

Anger is rumbling there against the hierarchy of Samuel Paty, thanks to a message relayed by various Internet users.

“Here is Charline Avenel… pure macronist.

It is the rector of Versailles who was preparing to sanction the beheaded professor… under pressure from Muslim parents, ”says for example a Facebook post showing a photo of the official in question, before recalling the conditions of his appointment in 2018 .

"Charline Avenel, rector of the Academy of Versailles who was going to sanction Samuel Paty in the face of pressure from the Islamists in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine", indignant for his part a Twitter user relaying the same cliché.

And these reactions are far from being limited to social networks since the president of the National Rally (RN), Marine Le Pen, asked for the establishment of a parliamentary commission of inquiry aimed in particular at knowing whether Samuel Paty was "Abandoned by his hierarchy".

However, despite what this rumor claims, no sanction was foreseen against the teacher for his use of cartoons in class.

FAKE OFF

As indicated by a note from territorial intelligence agents, cited by our colleagues from CheckNews, Le

or Le

, and that

was also able to consult, Samuel Paty was only to be the subject of a "reminder" of rules of secularism and neutrality by an inspector of evaluation of school life (EVS) in early October, a few days after his use of cartoons, which had aroused the indignation of some parents.

An indignation maintained by the Islamist activist Abdelhakim Sefrioui - taken into custody as part of the ongoing investigation -, present alongside the father of a schoolgirl during his meeting with the principal of the college of Bois d'Aulne .

In the process, Abdelhakim Sefrioui affirmed, in a video posted on social networks by the father of the family: “At the end of our interview, we understood that there was nothing going to be [as a sanction] on the part of establishment.

[…] But she let us know that she was going to bring up the information.

We left there with the firm intention of mobilizing for action in front of the establishment and in front of the academic inspectorate.

But in the afternoon, the academic inspection contacted the student's parent and expressed their amazement to know that it was like that in the course of this thug and that they were going to crack down.

"

It is from this last statement by Abdelhakim Sefrioui, quoted in an article in Le

on October 17, that many Internet users began to be indignant that Samuel Paty had incurred a sanction from his hierarchy.

The rector of the Yvelines academy, Charline AVENEL was preparing to sanction #SamuelPaty according to @LePoint.

She must IMMEDIATELY RESIGN.

"The inspector telephoned the professor to support him"

However, in a press release published Sunday, October 18, the Academy of Versailles, in addition to retracing the same course of events as in the note from the territorial intelligence services, contradicts the words of Abdelhakim Sefrioui: “Mr. Sefrioui says that the The academic inspectorate would be ready to "crack down" on Mr. Paty.

This is obviously wrong.

It would be absurd and paradoxical to give credit to this person's words.

The institution has always been in full support of Mr. Paty.

At no time was it said or even implied, or thought that the institution was going to "crack down" against Mr. Paty.

"

And the Academy of Versailles to specify that the principal of the college had supported Samuel Paty in his filing of a complaint for defamation against Abdelhakim Sefriou, Tuesday, October 13.

"The people behind this assassination joined forces (...) to create a scandal", says Jean-Michel Blanquer;

education Minister.

An element that did not fail to recall Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, during his visit to Franceinfo on Sunday.

While providing an additional indication as to the hierarchical support received by Samuel Paty: “Even during the weekend [preceding the filing of the complaint], the inspector in charge of that […] telephoned the professor to support him, to speak with him. him of what there was to do.
