City College of San Francisco Students WALK out of classes in protest of tuition hikes, demanding Education NOT Incarceration: April 20, 2005

"He needs to stop playin' his role and listen to the people." Determined words of resistance poured from the mouth of Arjuna Sayeed in response to my question about what he would say to Schwarzenegger (aka Herr Govenator-The Terminator).

I strained to listen to him as the minions of students passed us on their way to class at City College Of San Francisco's (CCSF) Phelan Campus. Arjuna, with CCSF's Associated Student Council was there passing out flyers about a rally and march that was happening that day, April 20th, on campus - but this wasn't any march and rally, this was a WALKOUT - from that day's noon classes in protest to the $33.00 fee hikes proposed by the State Legislative Analyst Office.
