> Protests over anger at France’s school system swept the country on Tuesday. Police used tear gas and water cannons after some people on the marches’ fringes turned violent. Parents marched with their children to support their cause and, in some cases, help keep them safe amid fears of further clashes after several teenagers were injured.
