Dramatic Vid: Chaos as College Students Pepper Sprayed While Trying to Crash Board Meeting
A group of rowdy students at Santa Monica College in California were pepper sprayed on Tuesday after they tried to storm a Board of Trustees meeting. The students are upset about a two-tier pricing plan to increase fees for certain summer classes, some of which were set to be axed for budget cuts.
About 12 students were allowed in the meeting, and the rest were supposed to file into overflow rooms. But the turnout was larger than expected, and about a hundred students then tried to storm and disrupt the meeting. Police eventually used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, and video captured it all:
Two students were taken to the hospital and police and the university are investigation the incident.
But while police may have been trying to protect the trustees, not all of them are coming to the cops’ defense. Trustee David Finkel called using pepper spray a “black eye” on the college, according to the Santa Monica Patch.
“I know some things happened tonight that I don’t like and a lot of you guys didn’t like,” Board of Trustees Chairwoman Margaret Quiñones-Perez added.
That might rub some the wrong way considering other video of the event shows students pushing up against police despite officers trying to remain calm and protect the meeting’s entrance:
The Patch has more on the plan that has the students so upset, which is simply a plan to save classes that have been the target of budget cuts:
The students called on the college district’s superintendent to hold a campus-wide referendum to recall the two-tier funding plan. The school is gearing up to use private funding to restore 50 courses this summer set to be eliminated in the wake of severe state budget cuts.
The cost to enroll in the classes would be about $180, significantly higher than the fees that California students pay—$36 per unit now thanks to state subsidies; nonresidents pay $275—but less than at California state universities and University of California, as well as for-profit colleges such as the University of Phoenix.
Students outraged by the proposal call it “privatization” and believe it will separate the wealthy from the poor. They want the Board of Trustees to instead demand the restoration of state funds.
The L.A. Times has more:
Under the tuition plan, believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, the school is creating a nonprofit organization called the Santa Monica Career and Transfer Alliance, which will offer the courses at full cost.
The foundation will offer about 50 class sections in courses such as accounting, art history, economics, Japanese, music history, speech and psychology — 18 courses in all. If the classes fill up, more will be added, depending on the availability of instructors and classrooms. California residents will pay about $540 per class and non-residents will pay about $840.
Students will be able to apply for some financial aid and the college is providing about 300 scholarships of about $300 each for needy students.
But any nuance was apparently lost to the students. They are reported to have chanted, “No cuts, no fees, education should be free!”

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 9:15amBecause they’re indoctrinating students to be good little socialists, that’s why. And that’s why the government hands out wads of YOUR hard-earned money to schools that already have many millions in the bank. It’s a continuous reward for them furthering the progressive cause and YOU’RE paying for it! But of course the system breaks down when the young socialists turn on the old socialists in a sort of intra-party power struggle.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 9:20amEducation should be free? Does anyone spend years in college to teach idiots for free? My guess… teachers, janitors, councilors… they need to eat too. Want a free education? Go to a public library. Though almost no one will hire you without that piece of paper that says you paid for classes even if you learned nothing in four years because you wasted your time partying and protesting against life – but isn’t it hip and cool getting pepper sprayed?

If you want to complain about the high cost talk your government agency whose grants and scholarship programs have driven up the cost.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 11:27amLet me get this right…overflow rooms were provided but that wasn’t good enough for the OWS-esque Jacobins? No…they demanded to enter the room where 12 of their number were admitted already for the simple reason that they wanted to shout down the discussion. So when police responded as they’ve been trained to when a crowd gets out of control…these “brave” students got upset when they were pepper sprayed. And what we’re these “noble” students demanding? Free education of course. Free stuff. Nevermind that expenses are out of control…just give them more free stuff.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 1:36pmMaybe someone should setup a completely “Free” College course. Here is how it would go overcrowded standing room only and because there is no tuition they have to find an instructor to teach the class for “FREE” and since they could not they will let the students teach the class, then a riot breaks out because they can’t settle on a student smart enough to teach the class and they start beating each other and throwing class room items at each other etc etc etc..
As you see in my “Free” education society college is the New Romper Room/Sesame Street culture. How is that going to work vs Asian education systems that actually teaches.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 3:24pmThis is the product of several hundred years of universities and colleges acting as the gatekeepers to certain professions. The reason why public libraries were setup in this nation was to keep people from having to resort to attending a university in order to learn. Education is free. You pay for grades and if you have the knowledge but not the grades, you are unhireable thanks to these centuries of idiocy wherein a grade meant more than common sense and real knowledge.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 3:25pmCalifornia is broke. What part of that do these students not understand. There is no state funding for the difference in what their fees are and the actual cost. Wake up you supposed to be educated not brain washed by the left progressive movement. Wake up or there won’t be colleges for anyone to attend free or otherwise. If our country falls to being a Marxist, Communists or anything inbetween, college will only be for the Elitist and you can take that to the bank or put it in your pipe and smoke it, as most Californias want anyway.

I can only hope their kids demand from them any and everything they want regardless of mom and dad’s ability to pay. Maybe they should direct their energy toward changing the failed government policies that set this mess in motion a long time ago. Apparently, they desperately need a class in critical thinkng and logical reasoning. Kids think they know it all when in reality most are extremely ignorant and brainwashed by spoon feeding liberal professors……

It would also be interesting to see if they would be willing, or if they ever have, taught classes for free. There are plenty of people who need tutoring in reading, English and math in any community. Lots of little kids out there that can’t read well. So, you want classes for free? Okay, get out there and help by tutoring your community’s students who are failing because they can’t read or add three numbers in row. Then come back and talk about free classes.

Curiously, I’ve notice the difference in kid’s attitudes regarding education 1) those who believe education is a luxury to be taken seriously- it’s their job to go to school and learn-so they may be responsible for themselves one day. 2) And those who want to chant and complain and party because an education is a right, the taxpayers will take care of me should I be unable to find a job in which I can use my art history degree.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 8:21amIf they want their free education, then they can join the 1% and do what I did. Enlist in the US Military, get the GI Bill and then go to college. I know, its working for me and I am graduating next year with my Master’s Degree.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 2:03pmNo good! Almost all of them would fail drug testing. None of them could handle basic training, even todays training which is nothing like it uded to be.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 8:21amI love how whenever they show these videos they act like being peppered sprayed is equivalent to being shot. It’s completely non-lethal and does no permanent damage. It’s annoying and painful, but come on, it’s not like you’re going to die. Besides, these idiots who think that “protest” means “storm the castle” deserve it. There’s a HUGE difference between a peaceful protest and an mob.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 9:01amYea seriously…. I had to get pepper sprayed for a job, and yea it sucked…. but I wasnt crying like that girl who acted like it was the end of the world, in the bottom left of the video. I still dont ever know why people go to the emergency room for that stuff….. IT DOESNT DO ANYTHING PERMANENT, or even for over a couple hours. Get over it and quit crying you hippies…!!!!

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 8:41amMust not be doing such a great job educating the little delinquents if they can only use the “occupy” chants to make their point. Entrance IQ must be down to ‘moron’ if they can’t figure out NOTHING IS FREE! That trustee who stood up for the students should be thankful one of the ungrateful snipes didn’t have a gun.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 8:10amThe kids are finding out the more you push the more you risk push back.
If they keep this up they will turn the nation into a police state as people tire of this endless mob harrassment.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 8:06amLet me guess, some of the courses were such high acedemic endeavors as “Underwater Bubble Blowing” “Womens Studies” “LGBTQ Studies” and other equally important courses guaranteed to help you get you a job in the real world?

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 9:52amSomeone tell those numbnuts education is free all you need is a public library card. You’re not paying of education you’re paying for the piece of paper that says your educated. But in truth the liberal establishment has sold you magic beans for your entire cow.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 8:22amYou have me wondering what would happen if the police, just once, allowed them to exercise the rights that the libs want. The place would be torn apart, but, it’s what they want.
