Man jailed for threatening to behead son’s female teacher in French town
France's education minister described the incident as one of 'extreme gravity,' and offered his full support to the teacher, her colleagues, students and the their families.
A 47-year-old man in Le Fauga, a small village near Toulouse, has been sentenced to six months in jail for threatening to behead his son's female teacher. The teacher, who received official protection and was placed on leave following the incident, reported receiving threats from the father. The case comes in the wake of new legislation aimed at protecting teachers and school staff from violent threats by parents.
Education Minister Édouard Geffray described the incident as "of extreme gravity" and extended his support to the teacher, her colleagues, students, and their families. This case is reminiscent of the 2015 attack on teacher Samuel Paty, who was killed by an 18-year-old Chechen refugee radicalized with extreme Islamic beliefs.
