France: Student Unrest Escalates to Arson, Violence, and Nationwide School Closures

Student protests across France have escalated significantly, marked by widespread violence including arson attacks on schools, assaults on teachers and administrators (one doused in gasoline), and clashes with police. This has led to hundreds of school closures, mass arrests, and a government crisis response, with political leaders attributing the violence to far-left instigators. The full scale of unrest and its long-term political implications remain uncertain.
