The Battle for Education Continues

Protestors march acorss the Tower Bridge in Sacramento || Vincent Fernandez || [email protected]

Tens of thousands of students from across the state rallied this morning at the capitol to show support for the state’s community colleges, the budget-crunched backbone of California’s higher education system.

Assembled masses marched from Raley Field to the steps of the Capitol in an effort to bring awareness to the harsh economic plight facing most, if not all of the 110 community-colleges strewn across the state. Budget cuts affecting all sectors of the California university system have been especially devastating to community colleges and their students, whom have had to endure dwindling educational resources, teacher and staff furloughs, and higher enrollment fees. More devastating is the prospect that cuts will not be ending anytime soon.

Students, many of whom traveled hundreds of miles to reach Sacramento, joined local city college students in a peaceful yet intense march across the iconic Tower Bridge toward their final destination: the state Capitol. Demonstrators converged on the north steps, demanded that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger reveal himself and explain his actions; mainly the imposed budget cuts the state government has recently implemented on the nation’s largest educational system. The rally then proceeded with student speakers addressing the multitude, which swelled to a reported number approximating 15,000 students.

Students, already burdened with limited class options due to state-wide education cuts, face the prospect of even higher tuition rates for the upcoming year. For some it seems like a waste of time, and money.

“It’s annoying,” said Chris Moore, a computer science major at the City College, “that I have to take a bunch of classes that I don’t need because there’s not enough offerings.”

The large crowd, frantic and anxious, chanted furiously as state capitol members looked on from high atop the ivory towers of the Capitol. The rally reached a climax as separate student groups took over the east wing singing and dancing, while other groups made their way back to Raley Field.
