March from NEA Convention supports Montreal/Quebec student strikers

On the 3rd of July, teachers and supporters gathered outside the NEA's
(teacher's union) convention, then marched to the Canadian Embassy to
support the months long student strike against tuition hikes there.


The Montreal student strike has mushroomed into a poopular uprising
in all of Quebec that among other things disrupted the Grand Prix
dispite extreme police repression. While it is not unusual for a march
in DC to support such an uprising, it IS unusual for such a march to
orginate in or around something like the convention of the NEA.

  • How do people find all this fucking around time?

    • @ChumCannon Same way people find the time to fight when invaders in war threaten their homes: When you are threatened, as these teachers are by cuts, you cancel something else and make time to fight.

      Student debt threatens professors in this way: If it costs as much to go to college as to buy a house, anyone with enough money to afford college will buy a house in a depressed area and work at McDonalds. Not having a mortage is worth more than a degree could ever be! Those who don't have a spare More..

    • @dcdirectactionnews I know where it is going. I also know where it started. Credit financing. Without credit and federal loans do you think school, housing, autos would be as expensive as they are?

      College is a business, a business that will charge whatever someone else is willing to pay. People pay more and more because through credit they don't have to pay it all up front, and sometimes people are willing to pay the rest of their lives for it. Sometimes people don't understand the concept of More..

    • @ChumCannon I'd like to see an end to credit financing of any fundamental of life such as housing, and either an end to credit financing of education or an end to employers demanding that applicants have degrees. This would force prices WAY down and also force the removal of unnecessary content from both.

      Student debt is a speculative and bad investment. If you have that much money, spend it one something more reliable like not having a mortgage. If you don't, don't even CONSIDER borrowing for More..

    • @dcdirectactionnews Well, for once I agree with you, almost completely.

      My only contention is that the employers demanding degrees are only a byproduct of how superfluous they have become. I also have a degree and, like you, haven't been able to apply it effectively. I also took a little longer to pay for it out of pocket.

      Your Occupy movement would do well to approach this issue in such reasonable ways, instead of extremes like 'free college for all' which does nothing but exacerbate the prob More..
