The beheading of a teacher by an 18-year-old outside Paris struck
a particularly jarring blow to the French psyche. Samuel Paty was
murdered for teaching his students, including young Muslims,
about freedom of speech, including the freedom to mock religion.
His killing was seen by some as an attack on France’s secular
values. Stephen Sackur speaks to Dominique Schnapper, president
of a council which advises the government on secularism in
education. Is France's government getting its response to this
tragedy right?
