Two weeks ago we reported that as part of its proactive effort to tackle future terrorist attacks, the French government announced that starting in September, French 14-year-olds would receive lessons how to survive a terrorist attack on their schools, following a spate of Islamist killings in recent months. It appears that was not enough, because earlier today the France interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced France would deploy about 3,000 reserve troops, train school authorities and ramp up school anti-terror drills in case of attacks, its education and security ministers announced on Wednesday, a week before the start of a new academic year.
"The threat is high, it is real," Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, said during a joint news conference in Paris alongside Cazeneuve. "This is not about ceding to panic or paranoia," she added quoted by Reuters.
About 12 million students are expected to head back to school across France from on Sept. 1. All students aged 13-14 will be adding basic life-saving measures to their portfolio of skills, in case they need to provide assistance to classmates in a worse-case scenario. Right now, only 30% of students are trained, the Education Minister said in a Wednesday press conference, according to AP.

That’s no baguette he’s holding
The politicians brought “the threat” into the country. They should be tried for treason.
Teaching first aid to 13 and 14 year-olds in case their school is attacked by terrorists and they need to use those skills to try and save classmates lives. Are the French, or any Western nation, looking seriously at ways to reduce the probability of such attacks by reducing the number of people whose religion provides them with justification and a ticket to paradise for carrying out such attacks?
Straight up: I am a simple man who wants to live a simple life and protect my love ones.
GOD FORBID anyone in my family is harmed by someone who was brought to my country by politicians seeking personal gain because I would make DAMN SURE to SHARE MY PAIN with the people who are enabling these monsters.
Beslan can happen here, I shudder thinking about it.
Charles Martel AKA “the hammer”.
You and me both, brother.
I’ve always worried that the next mass attack will be on our children. With our “gun free” zones we’ve made them horribly vulnerable.
The radicals want a religious war, they want to force all muslims, everywhere, into the fight. The best way to do that is to do something so heinous that a backlash against muslims in general would, most likely, occur. This would be the way to trigger it, make all muslims feel they’re being targeted.
The situation is at critical mass in France. Encouraged by weak leadership both here and in Europe, something really bad is about to happen, it is inevitable :(
Because Muslims are over 33% of the French population.
How about just eliminating, with extreme prejudice, any potential threat? This could even be done humanely, by expulsion.
