Nationwide Students Oppose Budget Cuts | The Nation

Posted on Twitter: thenation The Nation
The #student-led movement opposing budget cuts is growing in America. http://bit.ly/eUDk2t #USuncut #austerity

"Students at Arizona universities rallied to oppose $235 million in cuts to their universities’ budgets, and a labor-student coalition in Florida led about 300 protesters through the streets to protest Gov. Scott’s proposal to cut 5 to 10 percent (about $3 billion) from public education.

People often ask me why students in the US haven’t organized a massive resistance like the one we’re witnessing in the UK. My answer to that is there is resistance in this country. It isn’t centralized and overwhelming…yet, but it is most definitely rising to the surface and beginning to spill over."
