Last week we reported about the NYU student "revolution". Some ambitious Che Guevara wannabes "seized" control of the school cafeteria and demanded...well, no one was really sure what they were demanding. Here's a video documenting part of the final moments. This is nothing short of hysterical. Worst hippies ever!
My favorite part: "You cannot come in here. This is a student free space"
Bahahahahaha!!!

OBAMA STYLE PROGRAM PAYING STUPID STUDENTS TO SEEK TUTORING
Hope and change in action.
In ultra-liberal Austin, Texas, an Obama-style high school program has been unveiled: It pays poorly performing students $6-a-hour to get free after-school tutoring!I wish they had that program when I was in school. I would have never had to take that job at Hardee's just to put brake fluid in my car.
Interestingly, Austin's school district already provides free tutoring to under-performing students, thanks to requirements mandated by the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind law. But sadly, those initiatives have failed to perform as expected.
Referring to the existing free tutoring program, the Austin-American Statesman revealed this interesting tidbit, one calling up the old saw about leading a horse to water. “Austin pays more than $1,000 per student for the service...(but) few eligible students — less than 2 percent in years past — take advantage of it.”
Now, former Austin Mayor Bruce Todd, a Democrat, has put forth his pay-you-to-learn program: It will turn underachievers into achievers -- unlike the free tutoring program spurred by No Child Left Behind, he contends. His $375,000 initiative -- apparently the first of its kind anywhere -- will be funded by the private sector, and that's certainly good news for taxpayers. They'd surely riot if they were hit up for the money, judging by the public's initial and overwhelmingly negative reactions to the initiative.
