Students protest education cuts
Sacramento, Cal.--Hundreds of public school students and
teachers rallied here on May 8 to protest state budget cuts in education. Inside
the capitol they attended scheduled meetings with individual legislators.
Several students read out statements they had composed for the occasion.
Outside, speakers fleshed out the theme, "Education not
incarceration," with alarming contrasts such as that between some 10,000
California teachers who face the prospect of pink slips, and state prison
guards, who look forward to a recently authorized pay raise. |
