Thirty-two undergrads are enrolled this semester in “Occupy Everywhere,” a three-credit political science course offered at Roosevelt University that takes a look at the movement and the issue of social inequality in the United States. I wonder what the grading scale is. Does everyone get 99%? A suggested Syllabus for the 'Occupy' Movement courses There are lessons to be learned from the #occupy movement! LOL
The really observant professor will remind his students of the postmodern irony of students going into debt with student loans to learn more about a protest about unemployed student graduates crushed under the debt of their student loans.
A bit unfair to talk about Occupy protests leaving behind refuse (in the linked article). In general the occupy crowd kept things pretty tidy but when you are getting evicted by police you really don't have much time to tidy up all of your property that the police have smashed up so you usually end up leaving it there - at least until you get out of jail. The Tea Party types did, at least, manage to get their garbage in or pretty close to the public bins. Yay! GIEN BECK

As in "their employer forced them to wear hazmat suits". Thanks for the photos. It clearly shows that the trash is what the protesters would have formally referred to as property but which was smashed by the cops when the protesters were evicted without the ability to bring with them the property that they were forced to abandon. Doubtless if I smashed all of your property it would produce a lot of garbage.
For extra credit, perhaps they should hold on campus protest of the extremely high tuition rates. Fat cats are bleeding them dry and forcing them into debt slavery!
They should be doing that anyway. The fees are ridiculous - but then again, the fees are that way partly to keep the riff-raff out and make sure that only the proper classes get to attend classes.
