Rebellion of Italy's Students

To extend on the on-going strife in Italy, this article also talks about the strikes. It outlines the reasons why the students are protesting--- the huge cuts in education, and the beginning of the privatization of education. Also, a more disturbing outcome of the basically facist Berlusconi government is the evident racism. Immigrants are facing all kinds of discrimination, namely in the education sector. Children are being discriminated against!!! As an anti-war group that calls for the end to racism, and the right of people to organize, we should stand in solidarity with the students in Italy.

I have actually been talking to my Italian teacher about it, and she really is afraid about the fate of her country. She has expressed to me how much she wants to be there with the students, protesting. It is amazing, and I am glad I got to connect with her, and know that I agree with her stance in this struggle.
