He died, brutally murdered, for simply having applied the civic education program in a 4th year class at the Bois d'Aulne college in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.

Murdered for having taught Freedom, ”the town hall said in a statement on Monday.

The school that will bear his name is to be built on the land of the Maraîchers in the Liberation district, as part of a real estate program also including a park, housing and a nursery.
