PARIS (AP) Police sprayed tear gas Tuesday at high school students lobbing bottles and stones during a protest over teacher job cuts.
Thousands of students marched from Paris' Luxembourg Gardens in a rally that descended into violence for the second time in a week. Police rounded up the several hundred protesters Tuesday. The exact number was not immediately clear. Many wore hoods or scarves to hide their faces from police. The students are marching in solidarity with their teachers and in anger at a government cost-saving reform that will cut thousands of teacher jobs in the next school year, part of a broader attempt by President Nicolas Sarkozy to cut costs and bureaucracy. Demonstrators also fear that Sarkozy's overall reforms will erode the social and labor protections that underpin French society. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
