"Footage of school students being forced to kneel with their hands behind their heads by French riot police has sparked outrage on social media.
A demonstration by students outside a school in Mantes-la-Jolie, west of Paris, ended in clashes with police and more than 140 arrests.
Students are angry at plans to reform the exam system, which they say will limit opportunity and breed inequality. ...
... Students across the country have been angered by President Emmanuel Macron's plans to change the end-of-school exam, which is known as the baccalaureate and is required for entrance to university, as well as the university admissions platform Parcoursup.
Student Louis Benzerrouk said on Thursday that he was demonstrating because young people "are not listened to".
"We are despised by [Macron and his government] ... we really have the impression that they are going in the opposite direction," he said.
Another student, Milena Arvois, said the planned reform will "kill the vocational schools", adding that she was also against an increase in fees for foreign students "because that will be a disaster".
Dozens of schools were blockaded in cities across France this week, including in Marseille, Nantes and Paris. ... "

Seeing third world style unrest in a country like France is a tad unsettling.
When those that support the "ANDs" don't want the draconian taxes they say are required to fund it, it should tell the idiots here that following the same concepts something.
Socialism? In contemporary France? What are you ON, mate?
A bit like the third world storming of the Bastille, eh?
To iolo: We meet again.
I see that you have been here for five years; so I know what to expect!

The French seem determined to cast off their globalist oppressors.

Americans should pay close attention because this may be a precursor to what may happen here .. but it won't be the usual suspects behind it.
If it happens here, it won't be democrats, progressives, nor the Left behind it. It will be an act of desperation from Trump voters as they continue to lose power politically.
As they continue to watch the delusion of MAGA dissolve into nothingness.
In fact, one could argue that the election of Trump was an act of desperation ,, and when he goes down, so does their power and lock on America. Too heavily invested in a clown.

You're just be silly.
You know dam well the gov't forces citizens to pay SS tax (and medicare tax). Anyone who doesn't take back as much as they can is a dam fool. And Black Americans have avg. shorter life spans, so they really get disproportionately gypped by the SS system.

For someone who casually tosses around the word 'socialism' about a 1000 times a day, its not at all surprising that you don't even know what it is. :0)

Animal Farm. Anyone else remember reading this back in high school? Old Major, Napoleon and Snowball are going after Mr. Jones (Macron).

You do realize or maybe you're that clueless; but SS and Medicare are programs that the worker pays into (invests), with the expectation of future use.
Yes. Macron. ". After being a member of the Socialist Party from 2006 to 2009, Macron ran in the election under the banner of a centrist political movement he founded in April that year, En Marche!. ". I am nothing but fact.

We bailed out our Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class with socialism in that little 2007-08 meltdown, and we will again soon. Amazon just got a huge shot of socialism. America has no issue with socialism, only who it benefits. In america, socialism is reserved for the substantial people.
What is this "we" crap??? Only the working people paying taxes did it. Under duress I might add.
