PARIS — The threat is said to be existential. It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks France’s intellectual and cultural heritage.

The threat? “Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,’’ said President Emmanuel Macron.

French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.

Emboldened by these comments, prominent intellectuals have banded together against what they regard as contamination by the out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and its attendant cancel culture.

The United States is too weirdly "liberal" for France.

Well that only took two and a quarter centuries.

It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity.

It does those things only because sane people don't want "unity" (national or otherwise) with viciously bigoted and irrational loonies like the "woke".

And that's a good thing. So let's have more secessionism, please, and more "gnaw[ing] at national unity" ...

Anything that fuels secession is a good think in my book.

I wonder if they will be put on a terrorist list of some sort in France.
