LA's March 4th 2010 Student Rally

When a few reactionary tea baggers bus in a dozen protesters to LA from Utah and other redneck parts of the country for a small protest, the media is sure to cover it as a major political event. When tens of thousands (the LAPD stopped counting at 10,000) of students protest in LA who are from LA there is no mention of the event in the entire corporate owned media. The call for action was against crippling state budget cuts to public education at the Universities, over $17 billion in two years to the state's education fund—and the UC administration's crisis of priorities was taken up on every UC and state college campus. The problem is Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and state legislators who plan even more cuts as another $20 billion budget deficit approaches this year. The state's fiscal crisis is due to the states unwillingness, and inability, to raise revenue which has already taken its toll, and organizing has been underway leading up to the day of action on March 4th 2010. If the corporate tax cuts and shelters (all of which have only been put in place by the current administration) are repealed the State of California would have more than enough money to balance its budget and expand badly needed services including education and health care. Student fees at state schools have exploded by 182 percent since 2002. (http://blogs.uscannenberg.org/neontommy_news/2010/03/interactive-graphics-whats­-the.html)

The K-12 education system is under siege too: corporate privatization scams whose main objective is making money as opposed to educating children have been taking over the LA school district. We have a Teacher speaking on this matter at the end and, MORE!

Arnold is a criminal - plain and simple. He was installed by corporate interests in order to serve corporate interests. He's a scumbag! Look into his ties to Enron and the faked power crunch in California a few years back.

There was a time when I felt pride in being from California - but when we elected this douchnozzle my pride turned to shame. how dumb can people be?

they're doing the same to the WU system up here... media won't cover those kids' marches either. Ah, continuity.

In your video description you are describing how the MEDIA in Germany works, where i live.

Different asshole/s, same shit.

For me, it's the SAME World Media, from Pacific to the Atlantic, from North Irland or Canada to South Africa or Australia, controled, censored, written, supported by the United West/Christian-Zionist N.W.O. Mafia.

Greetings and all the best to LA, my friend.
