Schoolyard protests are setting France ablaze

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on student-led protests spreading across France and turning violent, with clashes involving police and disruptions to schools. France 24 and BBC News both foreground the scale of disruption, while CBS News emphasizes underfunding and overcrowding and NBC News frames the protests as taking a violent turn. Al Jazeera is the only outlet here to mention students setting fire to schools, and The Economist is the only one to add a brief note that the mood is tense six months from an election.
