> France is struggling to contain its biggest student protests in decades. What began as a demonstration supporting striking teachers at a suburban high school north of Paris has grown into a national crisis. Hundreds of schools have closed and more than 6,000 people, mostly minors with no prior criminal records, have been detained in recent weeks. Students, teachers and police have been injured, including a student in the northeast who lost a hand to a grenade.
