Students Walk Out over Student Loan Debt

HeadlineNov 12, 2015

In another wave of student activism, students across the United States are walking out of class today to protest massive student loan debt. The students are calling for a minimum wage increase for campus workers and free public college tuition. Their protests come two days after fast-food workers walked off the job nationwide calling for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and union rights.
