Student Protests

Many college students in California last week protested proposed statewide tuition increases, and in addition to the outrage induced by the prospect of higher education now becoming unaffordable or financially crippling, the anger only grew due to a series of racially motivated events that occurred throughout California's higher education system. At the University of California-San Diego a student hung a noose in the school's library, predominately white students had a ghetto-themed party, and a school television show questioned the need for Black History Month. Students at UC Irvine also questioned the need for Black History Month in the school paper. For many Californians this is not a great time to pursue higher education. For many students the financial burden of pursuing a higher education may make education undesirable, and for minority students the growing reality that some segments of the student body do not enjoy your presence only compounds that same burden. However, regardless of how unsavory these events may be the focus of this issue is the response.
The events created anger and frustration, but a response has been discussed for quite a while. The students would protest the events, and ideally they would be peaceful protests. The students' protests should disrupt the usual course of people’s lives. If everything stays the same then nothing has changed, so the essence of a protest is to disrupt the normal. The normal is no longer enough, thus we will change that and we will do so peacefully. However, with peaceful protests comes the reality that those whose lives have been disrupted may not respond peacefully. The police may want to beat your ability to reason or to recognize injustice into submission and replace them with the fear of further beatings. That is what happened in California, and that is all I have to say.
The appropriate act is to watch the video below because protests are simple acts both major and minor in size with the intention of eradicating the insignificant normalcy that can so easily encompass ones life.
