French student protests draw criticism over absence of French flags

Mass student demonstrations in France over the education system are being questioned because protesters carried Palestinian, Syrian and Algerian flags while no French flags were visible. Critics, including commentators on social media, argue the protests have little to do with education and instead reflect the growing political influence of Islam in France. Supporters of the demonstrations have not been quoted in this discussion.

Why now: The visible foreign flags at domestic education protests have sparked debate over the protests' true motives and identity politics in France.
