A French court on Friday convicted six teenagers in connection with the beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty, whose murder in 2020 shocked the country.
Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country's secular values. The teacher had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. One of the minors is a 15-year-old girl who allegedly told her parents that Paty had shown caricatures of the prophet in her class.
Jewish parents have formed an association to support their schoolchildren. Muslim parents recently did the same as Mideast tensions reach the schoolhouse.
LAUSD Supt. Carvalho sent a letter affirming schools as safe and inclusive spaces after Muslim parents expressed concerns that their children had become targets.
