• French headteacher describes spiral of events that led to teacher's beheadingPublished13 November 2024.

A man has been given a six-month jail term in France after he threatened to kill a female primary school teacher who had disciplined his son at a village primary school.

Ele foi condenado após uma audiência de rito acelerado na quinta-feira, seis dias depois dos acontecimentos em Le Fauga, uma vila com população de cerca de 2. 600, logo fora da cidade do sudoeste de Toulouse.

The teacher has been granted official protection and has gone on sick leave.

French Education Minister Edouard Geffray said: "No teacher should be afraid to do their job. Attacking one of them is attacking the entire institution.

Durante o verão, Geffray navegou por uma lei destinada a proteger a equipe de um “risco significativo” à sua segurança ou saúde por parte de um membro da família de um estudante.

The minister said this case would trigger one of the first uses of the decree.

The case revives terrible memories in France of the beheading of a teacher in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine six years ago. Samuel Paty was murdered outside his school by an 18-year-old Chechen refugee.

Em Le Fauga, os colegas do professor não foram trabalhar na segunda-feira por causa do que aconteceu na sexta-feira anterior.

The threat was made after the man had been called in for a chat with the school, according to Toulouse education chief Karim Benmiloud.

O prefeito de Le Fauga, Jean-Marie Puig, disse ao BFMTV que o filho do homem havia sido perturbador na aula e que o professor o enviou para outra turma para se acalmar, embora ele continuasse a se comportar mal.

The teacher in this class was alleged to have told the child to "stop acting like a little bully", BFMTV reports.

She was then threatened by the father, who according to the mayor had waited for her "outside the school and apparently threatened to cut off her head if she'd been a man.

O pai posteriormente pediu desculpas, no entanto, uma denúncia judicial foi feita e ele compareceu perante o promotor em Toulouse na quinta-feira à tarde.

The decree passed in July allows for a student to be transferred to another school in a case involving significant risk to staff, and where education authorities have intervened.

It is thought the boy and a younger sister may now be moved to another school outside Le Fauga.
