25 education protesters detained—Most of them Baltimore high school students, were detained yesterday after they charged up the steps of the State House demanding that Gov. Martin O'Malley be arrested for not addressing what they called a "historic underfunding" of Maryland public schools. The demonstrators were handcuffed as they lay still, as if dead, before the bronze doors of the building. They had pressed past more than a dozen police officers, strung crime-scene tape along the stair railings of the State House and called O'Malley's budget proposal to slow the rate of education funding increases "a crime." The detained protesters, including a Baltimore public school teacher and two dozen students from high schools and colleges in Baltimore and Washington, were held for about an hour by Department of General Services Police before they were released.

Case of Parren J Mitchell Who Will Lead The State of Black Journalism

Freedom Fall -- Freedom Fall is Baltimore City's version of Mississippi's 1964 Freedom Summer. Young people and supportive adults will organize across the city and beyond to open up Baltimore to the United States and to the World by exposing the state's blatant oppression of unconstitutionally under funding the Baltimore City Public School System. (BCPSS). Freedom Fall will consist of a registration push for the convening of the new Maryland Freedom Board of Education (MFBE). Freedom Schools ran by youth will educate and organize youth around the issue of Quality Education. Freedom Schools will lead to mass demonstrations for the world to recognize and pressure the state to adequately fund the BCPSS, because No Education Means No Life! -- By the Baltimore Algebra Project's Advocacy Committee /Chair: Chris Goodman 443-957-5346 chris_byc@yahoo.com.
