The students question their teacher and invoke Sharia law.
The debate spreads throughout the Aragon high school.
"It is especially at the interclass that a student from another class came to insult and insult the teacher", explains Philippe d'Estable, deputy academic inspector of Haute Garonne.
"It is completely unacceptable".
"Faith does not rule the law"
For Carole Delga, the regional president in charge of high schools, we must be firm with these behaviors.
"All my support for the teacher, there are no threats," she says.
"Faith does not rule the law, All religions are to be respected but none has to enter the public space."
