On 6 October, Samuel Paty was teaching a lesson on dilemmas. The lesson was about the magazine "Charlie Hebdo"'s cartoons of Muhammad and the 2015 "Charlie Hebdo" shooting. (In January 2015, Islamist terrorists attacked the office of the magazine and killed 12 people.) Paty showed the class of 13- and 14-year-olds the cartoons but said that Muslim students, who might be shocked, could close their eyes or leave the room if they wanted.
