***Español Más Abajo***

Wednesday was a national day of action in Honduras as teachers, students, and members of the National People's Resistance Front took part in a third week of actions against the privatization of education. Students of the National Autonomous University in the capital of Tegucigalpa occupied the campus and the surrounding streets. They were then attacked by riot squads launching tear gas and rocks, and by two tanks that fire water mixed with pepper spray. The police entered the campus grounds from a back entrance before being repelled by hundreds students throwing rocks.

It marked the second time in one week that the police entered the university, breaking a Honduran law that prohibits the presence of police or military on Honduran university campuses.

@guayacan07 "Carlos little bitch don't know shit"...coming from a person that still thinks the population in Honduras is still 7 million, like it was 10 years ago. There's a police academy so not everyone that's a cop has a 6th grade level of education. Better educated people have a better chance of getting employed, free education doesn't guarantee that.

I would dare to say you're enjoying your free education because from what I can tell, you still need to get some of your facts together.
