California's education crisis - Join the group on Current
One of the great things about how Current.com works is that if you seea theme in a set of stories, you can make a group out of them. This new group started by JonRaymond is a great example: Education Crisis. The group has a compilation of articles and videos from the recent strikes and protests against fee hikes in the California state university system. Things were particularly bad at UCLA, where a majority of the videos come from.

Students ended their protest on Friday, but many said their fight against a 32% hike in fees was not yet over. In the Bay Area yesterday, students demanded an audience with the President of the UC system and while they didn't get it, it does look like an investigation into allegations of police brutality at Friday's Berkeley protest will take place.
