If they were tea party protesters the responses on this thread would be completely different.
From what I understand, the students are protesting higher tuition that doesn't give them anything in return...in fact schools are cutting programs and teachers. Also, prisons continue to be built at the expense of education.
But of course, if you are a wingnut you define all college students by the actions of a few and ignore the fact that people are hurting out there.
As an adult you are responsible for your education and the payment of it. Fancy education costs big bucks and guess what? That means tuition increases. More teachers, more programs, more money, more tuition... that's how it goes
"People are hurting".... boo hoo.. people always have hurt and always will hurt... but it is up to those people to do what they have to do not to hurt
As for money towards prisons... you see.. government is there for the making and enforcement of laws... you break the laws and the government is responsible to ensure you pay the penalty for that.... government does not exist to hand you a free adult education...
And I am so sure that taking the $$ out of prisons and into education means so much when you get your 1K less tuition bill and fancy new book, that get blood soaked as a drug gang mistakenly splatters your precious brain all over the floor when they shoot up your apartment instead of Dr. Feelgood's next door
