By Orion on Tue, 05/17/2011 - 6:18pm |

A fair warning - The argument here is really, really controversial. It's going to piss alot of people off.

California Campus Boils Over

By Orion on Tue, 04/19/2011 - 3:40pm |

Originally posted at Little Green Footballs.

Following are pictures of a pretty raucous student demonstration at the campus of California State University - East Bay (CSUEB). Since this blog has a national audience, many of you have probably never heard of it. The campus, along with many of California's smaller and less expensive state colleges, have become increasingly tense, volatile and integral as the recession and California's budget crisis have squeezed the state's resources.
