On October 16, 2020, a French history teacher was beheaded by an Islamic terrorist while walking home from school. Controversy had arisen around the teacher when he used several satirical cartoons depicting Muhammad earlier in the month in a section on free speech. Demonstrations and tributes have followed, as well as aggressive action by French authorities to identify all those involved and shut down radical Islamic organizations. That, and strong words by Macron, have been decried as Islamophobia, along with calls for a boycott of French goods. We unravel this tragic story and pay homage to the legacy of this dedicated teacher. An important episode in the series on education and teaching. #JeSuisProf
