This Monday, October 14, a minute of silence was observed in all middle and high schools in France in memory of Samuel Paty and Dominique Bernard, two teachers murdered by terrorists.
“We must forever remember the courage of these two teachers. We have a duty to remember and transmit. Samuel Paty and Dominique Bernard died in the line of duty for defending the values of the Republic. Our school is secular and must continue to train free and equal citizens “, declared Frédéric Lafforgue
In homage to Samuel Paty and Dominique Bernard, Frédéric Lafforgue, mayor of Castelnau-le-Lez, has decided, in consultation with the educational community, that a place in Castelnau-le-Lez will bear the names of these two teachers. This symbolic gesture aims to perpetuate their memory and remind people of the importance of preserving freedom of conscience and secularism on a daily basis. The choice of location will be made in consultation with the teachers of the municipality.
Through this act, the City reaffirms its attachment to republican values and its unwavering support for the educational community.
