I have a teen-aged niece who is on a school trip to Paris.
They were supposed to be seeing the sights and
experiencing the culture.
Instead they are confined to the school housing
and not allowed to go out.
These riots will hurt France’s future tourist and travel.

So you have a teen-aged niece who happens to be in Paris at this time and the school has decided keep them in lock down? I would be OUTRAGED and phoning the school. This IS French culture -living, in the present! This is the most significant French populist event in at least two generations and the students are confined to their hotel? Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous. They will never forgive the school and chaperones.

My daughter is ten. I am seriously considering taking her to Paris this March to learn and see this populist revolution first hand. By then there should be organized leadership, many speakers and well-developed political dialogue among Parisians. Freedom is best appreciated when openly expressed in defiance of tyranny. She will learn what it means to be free and why it is important.

Before anyone comments about foolish disregard I did four years in Iraq, 3 of them driving all over the country in an un-armored Mitsubishi B200 pickup. Situational awareness is the first 95% of any bad event. Daughter and I are not globalist elite .5 %-ers insisting on suppression and enslavement of the middle class to protect our gig. And the police typically do not harm tourists. So that should cover it.
