After shutting down the recruiting station, Prysner said, \u201cTo our brothers and sisters in the military: it\u2019s time we stopped fighting for the profits of a tiny group of billionaires; instead, we should struggle together for what\u2019s in our interests. But we\u2019re not going to fight alone\u2014we\u2019re going to fight with students who are getting their tuition raised, with teachers who are getting pink slips, with families who are suffering layoffs and scraping to get by\u2014because when we unite together, that\u2019s when we win.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ah, don’t you love the sound of class warfare in the morning? Prysner is a true class warrior. Also a member of the IVAW (he ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the IVAW board in the last election in an attempt to radicalize the IVAW), Prysner is one of the co-founders of the Maoist-founded ANSWER.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure how ending the wars will stop teachers from getting fired or tuition’s rise, but it sure sounds nice, doesn’t it? Tuition was going up by more than 7% per year through the Clinton years when there were no wars – so blaming the current increases on war is pretty vacuous.<\/p>\n
And, oh, yeah, in case you thought that the 100 or so demonstrators (according to the article – there were really about 25 by looking at the pictures) were veterans, allow me to disabuse of that fallacy;<\/p>\n
The demonstration consisted mostly of young students, who have faced massive tuition hikes over the past year. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Poor babies. I’ll betcha that there students all over the world who wish that was their only problem. So students, led by a veteran, blocked a recruiting station. What sense does it make to close down a recruiting station because tuition costs are rising? They might as well shut down a florist shop for the same reason. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
