This is the story:

Student grievances include overcrowded classes of up to 40 children in crumbling buildings, poor teacher pay, staff absences and an unequal system in which social background determined success. Other factors are an opaque and difficult online system for university applications as well as the sweltering temperatures in classrooms during heatwaves.

Report on that. The story of the violent left? That is "he said-she said" stuff. Sure, you gotta quote the politicians. He was talking about one school, not the entire movement.

Report on the cop that was caught dressed in blackbloc throwing a bottle at the police in Reims. Report on the staff at the school in Nantes who say the people that started the fire weren't from the school. Report about how in 1990 the students went on strike for similar reasons, except the police didn't gas them or arrest 5000 in a week. What about the so-called student-rep that works for Attal?

The violent stuff is a story too. Burning schools and firetrucks is too much. But, the demands of the students should be presented in full. Even just explaining the online application system... It does not work. It is garbage. It is reason alone to strike.
