While delivering mail today, I came upon a demonstration organized by the 
students at Field elementary school. About 100 -200 kids lined 46th Street 
between 4th and 5th Avenues holding signs and cheering every time a car 
honked in support (so there was a continuous din for about 3 hours).

One boy gave me a sign that read: "$750,000 is spent on the US military every 
minute. 40 of those minutes could pay off all the debts the public schools 
have." He managed to get all this on 2 large pieces of construction paper 
taped together.

Has anyone heard of other schools walking out in protest?
