Olivier Babeau denounced what he called a great educational failure. He stated that many young people—without it applying to all, but more than before according to him—despised and ignored cultural heritage. He accused cynical leaders of urging them to trample it, while they did not know it and did not understand it, and attributed this willingness to boredom, bravado, or the need to forge an identity through destruction. To support his argument, he mentioned Hannah Arendt and her reflection on the necessity of protecting the world from destruction by the new generations, in *The Crisis in Education*, p. 239, ed. Folio essais, 1972. #Éducation #Culture #Héritage (translated)
