So what can you tell us about these protests?

Yeah, happily.

So beginning in late September, so about two weeks ago at this point, a series of high school blockades and protests broke out.

They first kind of began in the Saint-Denis suburb of Paris last Monday and kind of metastasized after that nationwide pretty quickly thereafter.

The following day, they'd spread to France.

more than 200 schools across the country, similar blockades, protests.

And the police responded almost immediately, you know, riot police responding with tear gas, clashes with the student protesters.

What sort of reactions have you seen to the protests?
