The students of California are in open revolt...Over cuts in education along with irksome fee increases mandated by that state's ruinous financial meltdown.
Far be it for me to mock the demand for a better education, but as far as Humble Elias is concerned those college students would be better off picketing their own parent's homes.
Lets face it, California sets a low bar for access to Ballot Initiatives, and in the past ten years the electorate has faithfully voted for every expensive education reform on the ballot along with every single tax cut as well.
The result is a foregone conclusion an insupportable Tiffany Education System financed at Dollar Store prices.
Sorry kids the fact that you aren't being prepped properly isn't the state's fault, it is the fault of your damn parents for embarking on a self destructive round of tax-cuts and new spending all at the same time.

You'd think the kids would see this humiliating irony right off the bat, but no, today's educational system teaches a kid how to defrag a hard drive long before he or she is taught the innate value of informed voting or even the basics of what we used to call "civics".
Ah but then again today's education is about becoming a valuable worker or professional, not in becoming a good citizen.
