SAMUEL PATY LOVED BOOKS AND KNOWLEDGE SAID THE PDT MACRON----------------------------------------------- “Tonight, I want to talk to you about Samuel PATY.Samuel PATY loved books, knowledge, more than anything. His apartment was a library. Her best gifts, books for learning. He loved books to transmit, to his students as well as to his relatives, the passion for knowledge, the taste for freedom. After having studied History in Lyon and having considered becoming a researcher, he had taken the path traced by you, his parents, teacher and school principal in Moulins, by becoming a “researcher in pedagogy“ as he liked to define himself, by becoming a teacher. So there was no better place than the Sorbonne, our place of universal knowledge for over eight centuries, the place of humanism, for the nation to pay him this homage.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samuel PATY was passionately fond of teaching and he did it so well in several colleges and high schools including that of Conflans-Saint-Honorine. We all have anchored in our hearts, in our memories, the memory of a teacher who changed the course of our lives. You know, this teacher who taught us to read, to count, to trust us. This teacher who not only taught us a knowledge but opened a way for us by a book, a look, by his consideration. » President Macron stated.

"SAMUEL PATY WAS ONE OF THESE TEACHERS THAT WE DON'T FORGET" EXPLAINED THE MACRON PDT Samuel PATY was one of those, of those teachers who will not be forgotten, of these enthusiasts able to spend nights learning the history of religions in order to better understand his students and their beliefs. Of these humble people who questioned themselves a thousand times, as for this course on freedom of expression and freedom of conscience that he had been preparing since July again last summer in Moulins by your side and the doubts he shared through requirement, out of delicacy.Samuel PATY basically embodied the professor JAURÈS dreamed of in this letter to teachers which has just been read: "firmness united with tenderness". He who shows the greatness of thought, teaches respect, shows what civilization is. The one who made it his business to "make republicans." So, the words of Ferdinand BUISSON come back as if to echo "To make a republican," he wrote, "you have to take the human being, however small and humble he may be [...] and give him the idea that he must think for himself, that he owes neither faith nor obedience to anyone, that it is up to him to seek the truth and not to receive it ready-made from a master, a director, a leader, whoever he is "" To make republicans ", that was Samuel PATY's fight.And while this task today may seem daunting, especially where violence, intimidation and sometimes resignation take precedence, it is more essential, more topical, than ever. » President Macron stated.

"HERE IN FRANCE WE LOVE OUR NATION" SAID PDT MACRON--------------------------------------------------------------- “Here in France, we love our Nation, its geography, its landscapes and its history, its culture and its metamorphoses, its spirit and its heart. And we want to teach it to all of our children. Here in France, we love the both earthly and universal project that the Republic carries, its order and its promises. Every day start over. So, yes, in every school, in every college, in every high school, we will give back to teachers the power to "make republicans", the place and the authority that are their due. We will train them, consider them as they should, we will support them, we will protect them as much as we need to. In school and out of school, the pressures, the abuse of ignorance and obedience that some would like to introduce have no place with us. »President Macron stated

I WOULD LIKE MY LIFE AND MY DEATH TO USE SOMETHING SAMUEL PATY SAID ONE DAY----------------------- "I would like my life and my death to be used for something" he had said one day. As if by foreknowledge.- So why was Samuel killed? Why ? Friday night, I first believed in random madness, absurd arbitrariness: one more victim of gratuitous terrorism. After all, he was not the main target of the Islamists, he was only teaching. He was not the enemy of the religion they used, he had read the Koran, he respected his students, whatever their beliefs, he was interested in Muslim civilization. No, quite the contrary, Samuel PATY was killed precisely for all that. Because he embodied the Republic that is reborn every day in the classrooms, the freedom that is transmitted and perpetuated in school. » President Macron highlighted

He constantly wanted to see its face, discover the riches of otherness.Samuel PATY was the victim of the disastrous conspiracy of stupidity, lies, amalgamation, hatred of the other, of the hatred of what deeply, existentially, we are.Samuel PATY on Friday became the face of the Republic, of our desire to break terrorists, to reduce Islamists, to live as a community of free citizens in our country, the face of our determination to understand, to learn, to continue to 'to teach, to be free, because we will continue, teacher.-------------------------------------------We will defend the freedom that you taught so well and we will hold secularism high.

WE WILL CONTINUE AND TEACH THE HISTORIES OF FRANCE AND ITS GLORIES, SAID PDT MACRON--------- “We will continue, Professor. Together with all the teachers and professors in France, we will teach History, its glories and its vicissitudes. We will introduce literature, music, all works of soul and spirit. We will love with all our strength the debate, the reasonable arguments, the kind persuasions. We will love science and its controversies. Like you, we will cultivate tolerance. Like you, we will seek to understand, relentlessly, and to understand even more that we would like to move away from us. We will learn humor, distance. We will recall that our freedoms hold only through the end of hatred and violence, through respect for others. We will continue, Professor. And throughout their lives, the hundreds of young men you have trained will exercise that critical thinking that you have taught them. Perhaps some of them will become teachers in their turn. So they will train young citizens. In turn, they will make the Republic love. They will make our nation, our values, our Europe understood in a chain of times that will not stop. We will continue, yes, this fight for freedom and for the reason of which you are now the face because we owe it to you, because we owe it to ourselves, because in France, professor, the Enlightenment never goes out.
