Students have set fire to schools and clashed with police as protests spread across France. Teenagers are demanding more educational resources, better facilities and a more transparent university admissions process.

Protesting for more and better educational facilities and resources while burning and destroying the existing ones....like my people will say "No be juju bedat"

Vandalism isn't protest.

I’m supposed to believe these “kids” just want to learn better?

You're a propaganda news channel. There's no protest; it's left-wing chaos and a politically well-orchestrated move.

We need a 2 state solution in France. The state of France must protect the rights of innocent students to burn cities in France.

To be taken seriously you shouldn’t burn down what you are trying to improve.

Has France always been violent or this started in the past few years? I will like someone with their culture knowledge to brief me.

😂 ‘More educational resources?’ These retarded, third world cunts would struggle to operate a pencil…🤦‍♂️ They should be grateful that the roof above their heads no longer moves about on a windy day.😬

Protest for better facilities,yet burning and setting fire on schools facilities,how is that a genuine protest?

No, they’re not. If that were the case, they wouldn’t be destroying the resources & facilities.

This doesn't stop to amaze me 🤔 have always thought the "1st world countries" don't have these kind of problems. I'm shooked!

They call it a student protest while schools burn. Illegal invaders and chaos merchants. Borders or collapse. Send them home 🔥

Universities all around the world are crooks and non transparent 😅😅

Pure lies If they wanted improved schools and more teachers why set fire to them

France is the victim of a Zionist government riddled with Israeli lobbies! Young people are waking up and rising up against intolerable educational conditions! The government's response is to send the police to beat children with unprecedented violence

They don’t look like they want more education

This is what you get when you have a leftist government! I assure you, you would never find anything like this occurring with any sustainability under a conservative populist government. California, absolutely. Florida or Texas, I don't think so The clip is not a mystery, and it is not a debate club. Students who wanted to go to class pushed through people blocking the door. That is what you are looking at. Two things led to it, and they should not be mixed up. The grievance is real. French lycées are short of teachers, packed, hot, and run on timetables the pupils themselves call exhausting. The protests started last week in the Paris suburbs, centered in Seine-Saint-Denis, and spread. By Friday, the Interior Ministry was counting on the order of a thousand schools touched and more than two hundred blockaded. Universities joined. About thirty campuses were reported blocked. Classrooms that do not open, and a state that still cannot staff them, are a legitimate complaint. The blockade is a different act. A grievance does not confer a right to weld the door shut on everyone else. Once the door is shut, the people behind it are no longer asking. They are deciding who may enter a public school. That is the moment a protest becomes a seizure. Then the seizure picked up the people who came for the fight. Education Minister Édouard Geffray said teachers were telling him the faces at the gate were not their students. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said the unrest now has the hallmarks of urban violence: mortar fireworks, burned public buildings, looted shops. He also said hydrochloric acid was thrown at officers. A 17-year-old was arrested in Belfort on suspicion of attempted homicide after an officer was targeted. Arrests ran into the thousands. Police injuries ran into the hundreds. Staff and pupils were hurt too. The government blames France Unbowed for whipping a school complaint into a partisan riot, six months before a presidential election. The party denies it. The acid and the fireworks do not need the party’s permission to be what they are. That is the fact the people pushing the door need to hear, without a speech. The person blocking a gate with a paving stone, a firework mortar, or a bottle of acid is not a classmate with a placard. He has already chosen injury. Nearly four hundred officers injured, acid on uniforms, a teenager held for trying to kill one of them: that is the record of this week, not a theory about his mood. Anyone who walks into that gate as if it were an argument is bringing a conversation to a man who brought a weapon. The lawful instrument for that gate is the police, who are equipped and who are already taking the casualties. A civilian who decides to clear it himself is no longer protesting. He is in a fight with people who have demonstrated, this week, that they will maim. Preparedness is not a slogan. It is the refusal to be surprised by that. Do not arrive alone, do not arrive unarmed in the only sense that matters against acid and thrown stone, and do not arrive expecting the other side to honor a rule they have already broken. Force, if it comes, is justified by the attack in front of you, not by a wish to punish a faction. The state that let the door be held shut is the party that failed first. The man holding it shut with a bottle of acid is not owed a fair hearing at arm’s length.

France has a growing number of immigrant population including students; I don't think they have that much right to protest in such way...
