What I see is the mobilization of a youth aware of being sacrificed. High school students are lacking everything, teachers, resources, there are rats in the establishments, everything is collapsing. (translated)
Let's not be afraid of words. We have been raising generations of dependents for quite some time. Free school, free university, subsidized canteen, subsidized sports, subsidized summer camps... All of this comes from good intentions. Every child has the right to a chance regardless of their background. What our society has forgotten is that these rights also come with responsibilities, even for kids. The responsibility to do their best in class, to respect their teachers and their environment. And free education was not previously guaranteed until 28 years old like today. If you weren't good enough, free education stopped at 13. No repetition of grades, trivial middle school diploma, sieve-like baccalaureate, universities with mediocre standards. How can we be surprised that kids don't respect an education system that doesn't respect itself? What is happening now is what happens with all the pampered children to whom no limits are set. A generation of child-kings. (translated)

In light of the ongoing movements in certain high schools, I want to express my support for the principals, teachers, and all the staff of the institutions, as well as for the law enforcement forces mobilized to ensure everyone's safety. The concerns and demands of a (translated)
What I saw this morning at Braque High School in Argenteuil: high school students peacefully expressing legitimate demands; teachers and parents present in support. The government that describes this movement as an "urban riot" wants to legitimize its violent repression to avoid having to answer for the consequences of its budget cuts on young people's lives.

Épargnez-nous vos leçons de morale. La violence c’est la jeunesse qui au quotidien manque de professeurs, d'infirmières, de psychologues, de matériel pour sa scolarité. La violence c’est quand un lycéen est édenté par la police pour avoir juste demandé des conditions d’études dignes. Où êtes-vous pour dénoncer ces violences mille fois plus destructrices qu'un feu de poubelle ? Hypocrite. #Violence #Éducation #Justice
