education as a right

continuing to follow the quebec student strikes, blogged earlier here, here, and here. real news sits down with student organizer, jeremie bedard-wien with the student union classe to discuss the latest developments.  as discussed earlier, a tentative deal fell through when it became apparent that administrators intended differently than they represented during a marathan meeting.  thousands of students have been marching nightly for a few weeks already, and in one instance, police attacked the group, firing rubber bullets at students.  another student organizer and friend of jeremie bedard-wien, and hit by one of these bullets, lost one of his eyes.  at present, the students are overwhelmingly in favor of continuing the strike.  mr. bedard-wien talks about all of these developments, and how his group, classe, views priorities, at present, in education reform.
