Nationwide Students Oppose Budget Cuts | The Nation

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."

Riots and demonstrations in Libya and Bahrain are dominating the news channels' at primetime, and the newspaper front pages. As Lauren Lyster reports, while U.S. leaders fly the flag for popular uprisings thousands of miles away, it's a very different story at home. See More | Video Cafe | crooksandliars.com

Top Comments | I was there for 5 days. I slept on the floors of my Capitol building. I ate food that was donated from all 50 states and an additional 58 countries. I talked with people I'd never met like they were people I had known my whole life. I talked to people who, without realizing it, CHANGED my life. There was no anger. There was only love. Russia Today, you are the only people who seem to understand what we're doing. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. See
