From what I've been reading and told, a lot of the violence comes from instigators trying to discredit and devalue the protests, not the actual protesters. So avoid jumping to conclusions about who started this fire, could easily be someone just trying to stir up shit to harm the protests.

High schoolers in France are protesting due to poor conditions and a defamed education.
- Our PISA scores are low
- budgets are getting cuts
- classes are overcrowded
- students have too long hours and too much work for poor results
They have a right to protest but they are being met with a really heavy repression.
Tear gas, "non-lethals", armors + bâtons...
They are kids. (Fuck EU kids act btw, this is the reality of how they treat our kids)
THIS is how you fuckin protest.

I would assume the budgets wont be getting cut for new school buildings now. So exactly what they wanted?
Make doing the thing more painful and inconvenient than not doing the thing. The concept is pretty simple
