Armstrong and Getty analyze the escalating riots in France, arguing that student grievances over school conditions have been hijacked by Marxist and Islamist groups amid a collapsing socialist economy. They also discuss the sharp decline in teens identifying as gay or bisexual, attributing the shift to the fading influence of critical theory and gender ideology in schools.
