please read this short pamphlet about a youth liberation action, the absence of solidarity from the teachers unions for the alleged perpetrators of the attack, and the collaboration of the school system in the repression of the Nahel Merzouk Uprising
although its major flaw, is that fails to even mention race when the teaching of “republican values” is not only an aspect of capitalist conditioning but a significant component of france's assimilationist project.
for instance, the regularly brandished “secular” value of ‘national education’ is used to exclude Muslim, Maghrebian and Black youth or forcibly assimilate them into the “mold” the pamphlet mentions.
it's indeed not surprising that the rebels of July who were the children of the victims of france's empire targeted the state institutions that actively polices them, and that schools being one of the first they are confronted with were not spared.
the absence of solidarity from the teachers union and its alignment with the state in the defense of the ‘national education’ should not only be read as an alliance of adults and agents of the state, but indeed as a nationalist alliance against this unemployable, unassimilable, rebellious youth!
