    Wow! Go Newark students. It’s your education. Fight for it. No one else will. Not even your senator, your Congress person, and certainly not that Dump.

    The Billaries and Obama handed you over to their monied interests.

    I think these young students could use a squad of heavily armed Marines to protect them from the greedy, autocratic, charter school fascists (and any thugs these pirates might call in) so these young people will be protected to peacefully protest and be heard.

      On that note Wilbur Ross, vulture capitalist extraordinaire, commented
      on how refreshing it was to see not one protester in Saudi Arabia.
      You can not make this stuff up . Not one protestor in a country that chops off hands and heads for protesting.
      Saudi Arabia home to 18 of the 19 9/11 hijackers . Main funder of Al Qaeda and ISIS .
      Time to vomit , as the press normalizes the Orange ass .

        How is it possible to be as out-of-touch as Wilbur- senility?

      Right, because if there’s anything America needs, it’s more militarization.

      Anyway, you do know that the Marines work for the oligarchy, don’t you? If they were to show up, I doubt it would be on the students’ side.

        When the 2nd Civil War starts to get rid of Trump and the fascist wing of the GOP, the same thing will happen that happened for the 1st Civil War. The military will split into two armies that will then fight each other. I’m talking about Marines that will refuse to join the deplorable Trumpsters.

    We are rapidly turning into Chile where students protest in pursuit of equitable, not for profit, education. Once corporations take over schools, communities will have a hard time getting them to change or getting them out. Whereas, in a public school, parents or students can meet with a principal, superintendent or elected school board. It is grassroots democracy in action.

      “Corporate takeover”- There’s a new video of an arrogant White shopper at an Arkansas Walmart making derogatory comments to and mocking other shoppers, using the racist language expected of the bigots who voted for Trump. The video confirms no one should shop at Walmart. Leave the store to criminals and lowlifes’s.
