“Defend Education”: The Usual Suspects Behind California Unrest
2010 MARCH 7
As predicted yesterday in my post about bourgeois Berkeley brats bemoaning tuition hikes, far from being a genuine student upswell, these poor saps are, in fact, being orchestrated by an extensive coalition of neo-communist networks. How wonderful it must be to have a readymade mob of dopey, emotionally driven, undereducated idealists filling the roles anew each year who will skip class and throw themselves at Riot Control at the very thought of fulfilling their flower-power fantasies.
Let’s be clear about one thing: The California school system spends lavishly on public education, as they do most every other social service imaginable. As the Wall Street Journal Notes:
Despite the budget cuts, California will this year devote $3 billion to the U.C. system. That’s about $13,000 per student—more than the $10,000 per student that Illinois devotes to the University of Illinois and better than double the $6,000 per student that New York devotes to the SUNY system.
