Trump Pushes Deranged Conspiracy Theory About French School Protests

Students, parents, and teachers across 40 French cities have blockaded hundreds of high schools since September 17. These demonstrations demand better funding, smaller class sizes, and improved classroom conditions to address understaffed education systems, resulting in thousands of arrests. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump used Truth Social to claim the unrest is caused by mass migration and Islam seeking to take over France, though reports indicate the movement is focused on educational funding and deteriorating school infrastructure.
