They tried in France - in Sciences Po Paris - but it generated a torrent of accusations of "antisemitism" in the press over a fake scandal that a Jewish student had been denied entry to the university because of her religion.
The student in question herself denied the storyβ¦

Untrue, it make less noise from a comparative point of view, take 2023 pensions movement. Most Universities in France see huge social movements every year. Tolbiac (La Sorbonne) for example is occupied more than not & is as I speak rn for a social reform.

The mobilisation is still on at Sciences Po Paris, this was us last week, monday eve, and yesterday respectively.
Althought generally speaking in France, foreign policy and societal issues tend to mobilise students less than social (class) ones (pensions etc.)
