While I despise France these days, one must consider the rhetoric that flows at the official government level and the opinion of the citizens themselves. Take a look at the EU vote for a Constitution, clearly the elites were out of touch with reality.
Just as Saddam was the enemy of the U.S., his actions didn't reflect that of most Iraqi's who wished only to be free of Saddam. The purple fingers held high from casting their vote in the first real democratic process in decades confirms that notion.
The real shame is that we find it hard to continue none political forms of activity without seeing it as political. I guess it comes down to whether or not the students like America or hate us like their government does. If the do then tell them to stay home.

"Take a look at the EU vote for a Constitution"
The majority of French citizens believe just as the rhetoric spewing from the mouthes of French politicians. The vote against the EU Constitution was based more on the French being truly selfishly socialistic or perhaps socialisticly selfish.
