Students, professors, teachers and unions around the country will organize today to protest America’s imperiled education system with more than 100 events in 32 states.
The movement started in California, where the public college system has been seized by tension and dissatisfaction over proposed tuition hikes, budget cuts and a series of racist events on University of California and California State campuses. Last Thursday, a riot erupted at UC Berkeley, allegedly to recapture the energy from last year’s protests at the campus and build momentum for today.
Some California demonstrators couldn’t wait for this day to come. Last night, a small dance party-turned-protest at San Francisco State University swelled to 200 people in three hours. The Golden Gate [X]Press reports:
The students blasted electronic music and began dancing. More people joined the demonstration as night classes got out at 9:45 p.m. SF State student Chantelle Icaza said she could hear the music from the 4th floor in Thornton Hall.
