Six years after the tragic murder of Samuel Paty, a French schoolteacher, the impact of his death continues to resonate. Paty was killed on October 16, 2020, following false accusations of racism related to his lesson on Charlie Hebdo cartoons.
Recently, journalists were granted access to film at his former school, where they encountered a new generation of students committed to combating terrorism. This event highlights the ongoing struggle against extremism in educational environments.
