What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Times reports mass demonstrations across France, as union members, parents and teachers join students demanding the government invest more in schools.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNotably, the parents showed up. In my experience, governments can ignore students, but never a parent holding a sign and a baguette.
