A school teacher in Rouen called for a moment of silence for Mohammed Merah, the day after he had been killed by French authorities. The teacher, who has not been identified, described Merah as a “victim.”

I guess this teacher didn’t ask a moment of silence for the seven people (including three Jewish children)Merah was responsible for killing.

Fortunately, many of her students were appalled and promptly walked out of class. They subsequently notified the principal about her actions. Disciplinary action has not been taken although France’s Minister of Education has publicly called for her suspension.

The fact there are people in positions of authority who view Mohammed Merah as a victim demonstrates how deeply moral relativism has seeped into Western culture.
