actually, this is a clever move by pragmatic French leaders and thinkers - successfully push back against noxious, anti-western ideology by labeling it “an American import”. HA! Brilliant and true in a sense. However they skip over the part of it being imported to the USA from Europe (and France) first.

What they doing is pragmatic because the French see what’s heading their way and they foresee that its going to compound the already existing problems of identity politics within their country.
They realize the dangers to French culture and society and are laying a political foundation to contain the problem. They are clearly trying to identify and brand the approaching threat to raise national awareness.
In other words they are trying to get out in front of the oncoming assault of insidious wokeism and prevent it from getting a foothold.
I applaud their efforts and hope they can contain it better than we have.
