Sorry that's gonna be a vent post I suppose, but i really want to complain about what's happening in France right now.
High-schoolers and uni students are protesting all around France, because the budget spent on school is too low. Classes are overcrowded, the ceiling falls apart, rats in the schools and bugs in their food. Asbestos in their walls, not enough teachers anywhere (they are currently trying to or have already removed 1588 teacher jobs btw), and not enough money in student supporting stuff, meritocratic apps that are in fact racist and class people based on their schools and their location. And uni students are also protesting against the "Welcome to France" act, which makes foreign students pay 3x more than french students for uni which is racist and makes students from more precarious situations unable to afford studies.
All the protestors are completely in their rights to do so. The police on the other hand is currently breaking all the laws they want, without any consequences. the ministry of the interior even said that there was no command that prevented the police to use any equipment they want to "fight" (it is a one sided and unequal fight) against the protestors.
A boy lost an eye, then another got his lower jaw smashed, a girl got strangled, another guy got waterboarded and a 15yo just lost his hand yesterday morning... All of this is the police's doing. Oh and, as if they didnt show they had no heart enough, they used tear gas on fucking pre schoolers. Tear gas itself is illegal to use agaisnt minors and has been since 90+ years.
All my support to the protestors.
TL;DR: Students in France are protesting against the government for bad learning conditions and in response they send the police, who is becoming more and more violent and never faces any consequences. All my support to the protestors.
