Public schools indoctrinating kids

Here is a funny paragraph from the Sun on the same story, looks like a zombie attack to me
Cops shot the man dead then fled to the nearby town of Eragny-sur-Oise, around two miles away, where he refused to surrender and was shot dead by police.

Not only that, the cops fled after killing him and then somehow managed to kill him again. I thought you needed swords to kill zombies, anyway.

A College in France is a secondary school or middle school by Murica standards. The teachers in them are referred to as Professors but as French kids are taught more philosophy and encouraged to debate more contentious subjects are often brought up in class.

It is when using a right wing definition of what constitutes a family worth defending.
A bit like being pro life has become right wing.
Defending the family is synonymous with opposing gay and gender non conforming right to be seen on equal footing in society.
A Google search for "Defending the family" returns right wing religious pages at the top, strewn with bigoted dog whistles.

That is exactly how it has panned out in the US political discussion. Of course it's wrong, just like it's wrong to define "patriotism" in the way that right wingers and authoritarians do (support "the leader") and/or as "my country right or wrong". But "family values" has come to mean anti marriage rights for gay people, policies and attitudes that penalize and demean single parents, removal of the right of women to control what happens to their own bodies, diminishment of family leave policies (ie men as well as women having the right to paternity care time) after childbirth, opposition to changes to the penal code that sees so many young men (ie absent fathers) sent to prison, opposition to family reunification of immigrant families, etc etc etc.
