Free, universal public education is a democratic, not a specifically socialist, demand.

More spending on public services means more poor immigrants will head to the United States. It means more poverty in this country. It is self-defeating. Cut spending on public services now!
Learn to get your hands dirty and do some blue collar work, higher education is not required to be available to you. If you cant pay for it, well sucks for you.
its time to stop doing what doesnt work......voting. if you want something right, do it yourself. This government is horrible, it is constantly giving its citizens false info, stripping them of their rights, and stealing from or killing anyone who gets in the way.....time for a real change, and its time to get organized, that is unless you are all happy with the way things are going and you dream of one world government. add me add me add me
Young,dumb and full of cum. All what u need to join the US military. Get eduction so expensive that u can tell the young that if u join the Military u can learn for free ( if you manage to stay alive), It is the same in the UK due to job loses many 18yr olds are signing up. This was brought to the public when a 18yr who had never seen his 1wk old son was killed by a bomb, he had just been serving for a month. Stop all Illegal wars invest in your kids.
Your education is your problem, not mine. I don't give a shit if you get a degree or not. You wanna go to school? Work for it, get a job and earn money to pay for it. Keep your fucking hands off my wallet, I pay enough taxes as it is. Ask your mommy and daddy to pay more money. A college degree is not a right assholes.
Huh? Are you working or going to school? Either way, here's a tip: try a community college. There are about 3000 across the country to choose from. But tell me why taxpayers should pay for your education?
@ManoftheBeret I go to Laney College, asswipe. I don't understand how people can get mad about overspending in Community Colleges and not about the fucking ridiculous amounts of money thrown at the military. Never hear anyone bitching about their taxes going there.
@softwaregurus The state pays so little to education anyways. They have literally doubled school fees in two years. All while parents are losing their homes due to foreclosures and students are getting laid off. Education is a right that we as students are willing to fight for.
Not only are they increasing tuition, but cutting off work study, ROTC, and other forms of financial assisting. We are all not cut out to be military GI joe. We want professional jobs, and that does NOT include working at Mc donald's, walmart, or living on welfare. When our education gets reduce millions of students will resort to living on welfare and that alone will cost tax payers billions
Health care reform has been the center of the issue too. While education lacks funding, health care consumes it all. Health care reform cost our education, taxes, and other factors aproximately $940 Billion. The good part about this bill is our medical bills will be reduce. The bad part is the shortage of doctors, nurses, dentists, and psychologist. Most of us won't be able to graduate or pursue the careers we want.
This is a very astronomical issue that has been spreading across the country. Not only has it affected California, but in other states too. In georgia they are cutting vital programs such as nursing, speech pathologist, respiratory therapy, and dental. These budget cuts can cripple the economy with shortage of professionals in health care. Everyone is trying to compete for a limited seat in these programs because the lack of funding.
Did I hear them chant "Education must be free"? That's a problem. People waste resources when those resources are free. We actually have too much education in this country. I know! Sounds strange, but it's true. For instance, think about party schools. That's a perfect example of how people waste resources when they aren't paying for them. Thousands of party schools in the United States. Working people taxed for those kids' education so the kids can spend their own money at bars? THAT'S A FAIL!!
stupid Americans......Your fucking State is broke and all you think about is protesting. Wake up...this is reality now. America is broke and someone has to pay for it.
I have always paid my taxes, credit cards, and have zero debt and I'm the one who has to pay for all you fucking people with your Hummers and 800k overpriced/overmorgaged houses.
they need to sand money to isreal people less teachers more money and bane wash people so they can sand more money to isreal lol because America is not in portent to there government but isreal is lol
we here at the state of california are fucking broke we have to cut everthing and yes kids that means your school i know it sucks i have two kid in the public school system
Where is the state supposed to get the money from?
These students need a course in simple economics.
There is no such thing as a "free" education. SOMEONE is paying that bill. And when there is no longer enough "SOMEONES" to pay those bills, then the cuts happen.
Unemployment is high. You cannot get tax money from people who do not work. Hence, cuts will happen.
So, again I ask, where do they want the money to come from?
I would gladly take a course on economics if those classes weren't getting cut too. HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE YOU!!!!!!?????????????
its comes from taxes donations and fees and other sources. you are such a fucking bitch. no one is getting a free education and no one in the protest thinks that is reasonable. go fuck yourself and die
Considering the way that you reacted to my post, I hope that you do not get any tax-payer money for your education. A person like you should not be any where near normal students.
You are everything that is wrong with America today. You want everything handed to you on a silver platter, and if you don't get it, you pitch a hissy fit.
I'd say, "Grow up," but clearly that is an impossibility.
if you are going to be so stupid that you will tell students who cant afford to pay for collage courses and whose courses are being cut to take more college courses then you are beyond retarded.
hissy fits are for women and children i get pissed off.
id say should admit when you're wrong but clearly thats impossible for you.
what? how could you call me uneducated? i am in college right now. I passed community college I got accepted to east bay university the hard way. I could have got into it straight from high school but i couldnt afford it. i specifically stated I dont think a free education is reasonable.
Im sorry i was mistaken some of them were saying that they did want free education but I dont think it was most of them and i think some of them are just saying that and just want it to be as cheap as possible. The protest at my school we were just shouting "no more cuts"
Absolutely they Should walk out! Walk out of the public system! Break t!

Ah, the good ole Associated Press. "Reporting half the news since 1848". Would the groups who organized these rallies be relevant to the story? Unions? Socialist & communist groups promoting the "educational right" false consensus? Not According to the AP.
More money does NOT equal better education. Family values and community attitudes towards learning are at least 70% of the equation. Most parents can't, don't, or won't read or write, and our popular culture has replaced Tolstoy with Tweets. Grade inflation is standard procedure.
While there are SOME wonderfully talented and dedicated teachers out there, most border on being mediocre or worse. And except for some graduate programs, most tax-funded education is a joke.
Government spending on ALL levels of education has soared in the last ten years far exceeding inflation. The problem is that the money goes into the pockets of the employees. 83 cents of each dollar goes to salaries and benefits. This is especially relevant at the public college and university systems wher 6 figure salaries are increasing and many professors don't even teach their own classes! Hope is fading!
If I had my way I would get rid of many of the lazy over paid California teachers and college professors and replace them with Marine drill instructors. The young men and women who come out of Marine basic training seem to be far more intelligent and level headed than the dope smoking Marxist mush heads that come out of high school and college these days.
Progressives love this change. Change we can believe in. More people than ever loosing their jobs. Tuition and the cost of living skyrocketing. Entrepreneurs being attacked. Higher taxes. More diseases because of the promotion of perversion. More crime because of the promotion of drug use. I don't see why liberals are upset. We got change. That's what they wanted. They were tired of freedom, safety, tax cuts, so they got the opposite. Hope they're all happy. Love you God, see you one day!
Suck it up PEOPLE...get rid of those BRAND NEW CARS...that $100/month I-Phone...that Lap-top...ad nauseum.
Make some of YOUR scarifices so you can afford higher education, instead of trying to live the lifestyle of the rich and Famous while your poor students!!
Politician's lie...because people can't handle the 800lb gorilla in the room...the truth.
Education is not a right, well K-12 is, but anything past that is a choice...fucking college students are idiots. If you want to go to college, you pay for that shit.
Why is it so hard for you 9/11 truthers to understand that people hate America and want us to die? Why does everything have to be a conspiracy? If the government did do 9/11 shouldn't you be worried about what their up to now besides something that happened 9 years ago? Get over it. Your big brother is up to a lot bigger fish now.
California has the BEST Public Higher Education in the WORLD!! Maybe Best in both Private and Public with their Master Plan (3-tier ed). CA must at least continue to protect and invest on it; otherwise, Europe, Asia, and other states will. Nobody can just go and live in CA to become fully subside by the State Ed..there are qualifications, such as residency....etc.. so don't think it is FREE and easy.

How Many Times Do I have to say, "Canceled" is spelled CORRECTLY. Either way! "Canceled" or Cancelled" Both are FINE. LOOK AT A DICTIONARY BOOK! YOU Do need to go back to 1st Grade. hahahaha
The students should give these greedy pricks a one year walk out! Let's see how these campuses do without ANY tuition coming in. The student loan program is nothing more than a ponzi scheme with interest and now these assholes want to bleed even more students dry.
bush obama clinton mccain... all voted for the banker bailout. The neocons love obama, because he was able to expand wars further than bush could ever had done. Where are the anti war protestors at now that obama is in office?Both of your parties are runned by the same elite group, and both parties have sold you out!
Hey dumbass the whole US is broke! When your dollar collapses, us creditors will use your own game plan! We will send troops in to secure our resources and if anyone complains we will label them "terrorists" and bomb your homes and villages indiscriminitely!
When your dollar collapses, you will be forced to give up your silver and gold to pay for your support of killing innocent civilians. You can run all you want, but you won't be able to hide.Your own countrymen will sell you out for a piece of bread and a cup of water. My country is one of many that own you. You are a slave, and don't even know it!
You're a fool. Homeland security was set up so the creditors know who has the guns. The census workers will gps your home this year. bush has already agreed to share that information with nato and china. You have less than 3 years before you will be forced to comply. You are not free, you have been sold to us. The whole world is waiting for the dollar to crash and impose the same restrictions on you, that you have placed on iraq and afghanistan. SUCKERS!
Hey dumbass, I'm canadian! DO you really think we will target people that will obey without putting up a fight? You should of learned some critical thinking skills instead of practicing shooting targets. The good slaves don't get punnished, the bad slaves get the lashes!
You will be rounded up and put in a cage! We don't need people like you to run our resources into the ground by trying to fight the boogie man. Everything you own has already been sold. Wake up! Do some research!
why would anybody even try arguing with someone whose calls themselves @TheLiberalssuckdick? btw i'm never getting off the weed. and fuck christianity
just keep on reaoing the people by overspending in education, overpaying superintendents, and principals whre the majority of the teachers make more than 70k a year this is sinking the state economy, and the level of education is horrific, in EUROPE THEY EXPEND 1/2 OF THE AMERICANS AND GET BETTER EDUCATION , DON'T LET THE TEACHER UNION REAP AMERICA !
Californians need to pay more taxes to support education, but they wont, so education is going down the toilet and that would put more people on welfare role.
This shouldn't be just students protesting! Where are all the homeowners or the people with healtcare that have just seen a 40% increase in taxes? Together you stand, divided you fall. The nazis first came for the communists, and no one complained, next they came for the gypsies, the jews, foreigners... Now today, it will start with the students, then gun owners, then ex military, then you! They don't need people to have an education, they want cannon plotter for their wars!
Most people that work for al living are taxed to the max. and can't afford to pay more taxes. There are millions of illegal immigrants living in California getting free housing , food, medication and hospitalization. Many of these illegals work for cash and don't pay taxes and draw welfare on top of their wages. And there are many honest hard working illegal immigrants living in California. Could this be the reason California is going bankrupt ?
Education! We don't need no stinking education. Virginia's new Republcian governor is ahead of the curve on this. The first thing McDonnell did was cut $731Million from the Hampton Roads schools budget, he laid off 38,000 teachers & cut $321Million from the health&resources budget. So California, come join Virginia in our race to ignorance.This is the Republican approach to improving education in America.The new slogan is "Every Child Left Out". Look, we got no jobs, so we don't need no learning
i support the protesters for getting out and letting their voices be heard. But I think that if CA students weren't given the huge tuition decreases in the early nineties, then they wouldn't grow up spoiled, and with the expectation that rates are supposed to be at those low levels. Bottom line is that your state is hemmoraging money and the first thing they will take in bad times is what they gave in good in the good times.
Maybe these students should educate themselves by talking to their state leaders. You know, the ones who make six figure salaries and spend tax-payer money on booze for their Congressional trips *cough*Pelosi*cough*. Then maybe they'd know the problem isn't that their education is being taken away, it's being STOLEN by money-grubbing politicians. Although, truth be told, no one in this country is GUARANTEED an education. If they were, ALL SCHOOLS would be no cost.
I don't get why people are blaming Obama for this. This has NOTHING to do with Obama at all.
I don't get why people are blaming Democrats for this. Who is our governor? A Republican...
Why are we getting budget cuts all over California for public schools?
Because of Proposition 13- a Republican act.
Don't know what it is? Find out.
Not only have college students rallied against this crisis, but high schoolers all over San Francisco have also! We're sick and tired of these budget cuts...
All the Progressive Union states are going down faster than other Right-to-Work states! California, Michigan, & Illinois etc... The Manifesto is working out great - Conquer and Divide! Nothing will change if you don't stop voting for the same criminals. Get rid of the Feds and Lobbyist - get back to the Constitution. Stop fighting each other and come together as countrymen!
What about VT, MASS, they are actual progressive union states and are doing excellent. Confusing social construct with economic policy is for morons, and Beck followers. California policies regarding economy are very conservative. just look at the reason for this post! their cutting funding to education to reduce the state deficit....sounds like a conservative policy to me.
This is what Happens to when you don't Pay your Bills & you buy Things that you can't Afford, you wind up Cutting Things that you Actually Need. This should be a Wake Up Call to California that they need to Reform their Budgeting Process & stop Passing Measures on Ballots without Paying for them.
you do know UC stuents dont pay that much compared to other schools. its reasonable, but as a UC student I too hate the fee inreases, because i still dont get quality education (spreading liberlism in clss is NOT education) and the the service from school is not that great. I likethat one sign taht said bailout students and not banks.
We have a system that at its core could care about people and be good for humanity, but that would be the exact opposite of what most corporations are trying to do with their involvement in politics. Boot the corporations from the halls of congress and you solve the problem.
@Lukachicago19 On a national level yes both the Democrats and Republicans deserve credit for the disaster of our national deficit but for California it belongs to the Democrats alone.
Only the rich are allowed to have a good education. What do you think this is, an industrialized country with free education? Sheesh.
This is America. Only the rich are allowed to have an education here. Even Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, China, Russia, and other nations have much higher education than the US, c'mon.
In the US, if you're not rich, you don't count. Quit crying and get with the program.
@jreed136 In the case of California it is the Democrats fault because they have run this state into the ground. The Republicans are the minority in this state. The Democrats deserve the full blame in this state.
Canceled Spelled correctly, Either way "Canceled" or "Cancelled" You do need to get to an Education and Protest for a quality Ed. Let me guess, you are jr high drop-out..? hahah
Millions protest? Really? I think that's crazy. I can't picture a person with a number counter counting every person their, let alone a university having that many students.
it wasnt millions. more lke a couple thousand. and at UCLA not lot of peopel protested. most students and staff got annoyed by the stupid protesters, despite what you hear from the media.
One more thing. The State of California cannot print money like the Federal Government can. Our credit rating sucks and no one wants to lend us money anymore. You can protest but it is too late for that. How about voting out the democrats and maybe things can change.
come on AP (Millions!!!!!) That is a rediculous title for this video. These students need to understand that there is no money!!!!!! Sorry that you will have to pay for your own education now instead of getting a free ride. Is not your future worth the money to you.
California provided an undergrad college education until Reagan became governor and got rid of it. Republiscams need cheap uneducated labor and they need people to enlist in the all-volunteer military. This is a Reagan issue not an Obama issue. Plus the Bushites started to reduce grant and loan money for college starting in 2002 and Obama is just starting to get it all restored.
How do ya like Obama now? I thought all you Collage students knew everything and voted for Change... Well I guess you don't like the taste of Obama change when it affects you !!!!! Same as Health Care! The older folks don't like the cuts Obama wants for those either... Buy a clue... Obama is One Huge LIAR!!!!
It's okay! Mat Steele says there is no good or bad. Don't protest the cuts in California. There's no such thing as good or bad. Just accept the cuts as THE GOVERNMENT STEALING FROM TAXPAYERS. MAT STEELE SAYS IT'S OKAY!

More money does NOT equal better education. Family values and community attitudes towards learning are at least 70% of the equation. Most parents can't, don't, or won't read or write, and our popular culture has replaced Tolstoy with Tweets. Grade inflation is standard procedure.
While there are SOME wonderfully talented and dedicated teachers out there, most border on being mediocre or worse. And except for some graduate programs, most tax-funded education is a joke.
Caocao8888 1 year ago
Government spending on ALL levels of education has soared in the last ten years far exceeding inflation. The problem is that the money goes into the pockets of the employees. 83 cents of each dollar goes to salaries and benefits. This is especially relevant at the public college and university systems wher 6 figure salaries are increasing and many professors don't even teach their own classes! Hope is fading!

If I had my way I would get rid of many of the lazy over paid California teachers and college professors and replace them with Marine drill instructors.

More diseases because of the promotion of perversion. More crime because of the promotion of drug use. I don't see why liberals are upset. We got change. That's what they wanted. They were tired of freedom, safety, tax cuts, so they got the opposite. Hope they're all happy. Love you God, see you one day!

California has the BEST Public Higher Education in the WORLD!! Maybe Best in both Private and Public with their Master Plan (3-tier ed). CA must at least continue to protect and invest on it; otherwise, Europe, Asia, and other states will. Nobody can just go and live in CA to become fully subside by the State Ed..there are qualifications, such as residency....etc.. so don't think it is FREE and easy.

How come all comments aren't shown? To see all comments, you have to select "Show All XX Comments". How does AP decide which comment get excluded? Who at AP makes that decision? It seems AP prefers to show the more vulgar and to deep six some of the more intelligent comments. Apparently AP gives FBOMBS, Strange Sexual Descriptions, & Angry Ignorance a pass when making this decision. And those that cause thinking get immediately parked in the remote zone for limited viewing. Kinda like this one.

Most people that work for al living are taxed to the max. and can't afford to pay more taxes. There are millions of illegal immigrants living in California getting free housing , food, medication and hospitalization. Many of these illegals work for cash and don't pay taxes and draw welfare on top of their wages. And there are many honest hard working illegal immigrants living in California. Could this be the reason California is going bankrupt ?

Education! We don't need no stinking education. Virginia's new Republcian governor is ahead of the curve on this.

So California, come join Virginia in our race to ignorance.This is the Republican approach to improving education in America.The new slogan is "Every Child Left Out". Look, we got no jobs, so we don't need no learning

i support the protesters for getting out and letting their voices be heard. But I think that if CA students weren't given the huge tuition decreases in the early nineties, then they wouldn't grow up spoiled, and with the expectation that rates are supposed to be at those low levels. Bottom line is that your state is hemmoraging money and the first thing they will take in bad times is what they gave in good in the good times.

Maybe these students should educate themselves by talking to their state leaders. You know, the ones who make six figure salaries and spend tax-payer money on booze for their Congressional trips *cough*Pelosi*cough*. Then maybe they'd know the problem isn't that their education is being taken away, it's being STOLEN by money-grubbing politicians. Although, truth be told, no one in this country is GUARANTEED an education. If they were, ALL SCHOOLS would be no cost.
