France resists American SJW challenge to its values. The government warns of a new cultural totalitarianism creeping in from the "Anglosphere". The education minister has set up a Laboratory of the Republic, dubbed an "anti-woke think tank", to co-ordinate the fightback.

Wokism and France's welfare state have little in common. SJW thinkers have a different set of values. They say race, color, gender do matter, because people have different lived experiences depending on those factors, and so public policies need to differentiate between different groups. Treating everyone equally is obscenity to them.

While France is all about liberty, fraternity, equality.
