STUDENTS WALK OUT TO PROTEST JAIL SPENDING
Thousands of San Leandro area high school students left their
classrooms and took to the streets Thursday, protesting that the state
is spending too much on jails and not enough on schools.
Students from about 10 schools marched about a mile through
town.
The protest come amid reports that under Gov.Pete Wilson's
administration, California's budget for higher education has shrunk by
3 percent while corrections spending has jumped 60 percent.
