School protests grow in France, with police using tear gas in multiple cities

Protests by high-school pupils have spread to their parents, university students, and unions across France, with police using tear gas in Paris, Marseille, and Rennes. Prime Minister Lecornu condemned the violence, and the government reported disruption in 891 high schools.

Why it matters. Students and their supporters are demanding better resources for schools, and the protests are affecting education across the country.
