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.

You'll pay the $33 and get over it. And if you want "education not incarceration", then stay away from crime so you don't go to jail. This is not rocket science.

As if it were that easy, suburban yuppie. In order to make paying $33/unit actually easy, and keep crime away, then tell your rich republiKKKan daddy and his globalizing buddies to stop holding us down! It's a fucking pattern that's been around for the past 500+ years. It's called oppression and colonization you idiot!

Goodness, are you having a bad day? Where on earth do you find any evidence that I live in the suburbs, or am Republican, or KKK, or rich, or....oh who cares at this point? It's all about YOU! No one is holding you down, except perhaps yourself, by fuming at reality. Thirty three dollars is hardly a barrier to education...a couple of CDs cost that much, not to mention weed and Doritos! Perhaps you should concentrate on studying something useful, to get the skills you need to get a JOB, rather than wasting your time on Ethnic Studies or Professional Victim Grievance Studies. Either way, it's up to you and I am not responsible for paying for it. Cheers!
