Ndiaye’s work on minority rights and comments, including saying France was in “denial” about police violence and discrimination, have irked many in a country where some – including Ndiaye’s predecessor at the education ministry – fear the impact of wokeism. Macron brushed off this criticism as he and Ndiaye visited a school in the southern port of Marseille.
