France Is Burning: The Student Protests, Riots & Life Lessons We Can’t Ignore

France Is Burning: The Student Protests, Riots & Life Lessons We Can’t Ignore19. Okt.28 Min.

🔥 France is on fire, and it started with children asking for a teacher. 🏫

In September, students at one high school in a working-class suburb of Paris blocked their doors over empty teaching posts, overcrowded classes and crumbling buildings. Within weeks it spread to more than a thousand schools. More than 5,000 people were arrested, most of them minors. Then on Saturday, a cost-of-living protest of over half a million people ended with a historic town hall burned, shops looted, about 2,400 arrests and a country in shock. 🇫🇷
