awesome! I'll be there
Luadable goals aside, I think it might be a bit of a reach to make this march a critique of capitalism, especially as the school system is one of those limited forms of socialism allowed for in the amerikan system. Spending priorities and the tax system are the largest roots on the the problems higher education confronts, and of course, everything can be "tied in" to everything else. But there is no corporation to protest here.
So what gives? What ever would an anticapitalist contingent mean at a school funding demo?? Bit of a reach, seems to me.

I'm not an expert, but just to start with a few trends I do know about:
• there is a push to privatize more schools in California;
• there is also a push to transfer funding from essentials like education to the privatized prison system;
• there's a push to fund schools and other services via bonds which some invest in while the whole state pays interest for years, instead of say taxing the rich;
• state officials are being funded by weathy & corporations (a.k.a. "elected") on the basis of not raising taxes, redistributing wealth, or improving services (instead cutting services, subsidizing businesses & borrowing to stay afloat).

Also the amount of corporate ads, TV, and food that in entering schools at this moment.
Schools at this point are offering people the chance to go to the protest to voice thier opposition against the state raising school costs. We should be there to state that not only do we oppose the fact that they will attack something that in the current system we all need to get decent jobs.
Also public school is somewhat socialized, college you pay for (not just taxes).

capitalism seems to need lots of uneducated, unemployed folks to keep wages low. while i certainly do support efforts to lighten up the problems of our schools in the here and now, i don't think an exceptional educational structure can ever come about in a capitalist system. it's not that far of a reach. anti capitalists are everywhere.
how about you all drop out.
