Description
"Millions of students, teachers and parents rallied in schools and college campuses across California to
protest deep spending cuts to schools and universities. Bay Area
protests flooded streets and plazas, an temporarily shut down 880 in
Oakland.
Demonstrations, marches, teach-ins and walkouts occurred nationwide
Thursday ...in what is being called the "March 4th National Day of Action
for Public Education."
Just a few shots of today's events.
Caught on my way home. How could I resist.
Thank you for stopping by.

A right abused by some pupils in my country, who attempt to ruin the learning process for the majority.

Show me where it says education is a right in the Bill Of Rights. I have a copy sitting on my desk right now. I can't find it in there.

Hey, Communism says that an education is a right. So, what the heck, let's give Communism another try. It only killed 100,000,000 people. Can't be all bad!

I am all for education please don't get me wrong here , but what erks me is when the rest of the nation is taking a hit with job cuts , layoffs, 401k's tanking, health care premiums on the rise , we all know the drill here, now what holds a certain group of individuals exempt of feeling the economic crunch that many of us feeling here in this troubled state of California and the rest of the nation ... Jeez i remember last year when myself and 40 other long term employees were laid off and received our walking papers of stable employment of 23 years there was no protests,demonstratios,marches, news coverage to gain public favoritism ,teachers are a fortunate group of people they have this option, we had no choice !To bad that in the private work force sector there is no unity among workers like in Europe we have so much to learn from them , at one time we used to mock their values, now its a whole new playing field . And yes you guessed it im am a over 50 yrs. old student trying to get back into the fold !

I don't really want to wade into the debate between education being a right or a privilege, but many years of watching politics in the USA and Canada has taught me that no one gets elected by promising to spend more on education. They win by promising they will cut funding to education, and the masses go along believing the beneficiaries of higher education should pay their own way. And the poor teachers take it on the chin every time, always expected to do more with less, and to the unwilling.

Some of the comments here make me think that education really ought to be a right. Good god people, despite what Sarah Palin and the right would have you believe, being educated is a good thing.
