                  Strike And Protests For Public Schooling

                  A man is holding a broom and a placard that reads 'AOC: Morality 0/20, get out' in Toulouse, France, on February 1, 2024. Teachers, professors, and students are striking and taking to the streets against the new Minister of National Education, Amelie Oudea-Castera, and the lack of resources for public schools. The minister is embroiled in scandals, including enrolling her children in a private Catholic school that segregates students by gender and bypassing the mandatory 'Parcours Sup' system for one of her children to gain admission to a school, college, or university. Protesters are calling for her resignation, as Amelie Oudea-Castera has also authorized the funding of the private Stanislas school, where her children attend, with public money.
