More New School Arrests Last Night
John Cook · 04/11/09 09:00AMNot Such a Good Friday Outside the New School
cityfile · 04/10/09 02:11PMA protest outside the New School turned violent this morning when students seeking the ouster of the university's president, Bob Kerrey, clashed with cops. According to the NYPD, 19 people were arrested in the melee. The department's spokesman, Paul Browne, also said the operation "was done in a very organized, orderly fashion," and the arrests were made in an "orderly fashion," although this video taken by an activist seems to dispute that account. Consider your faith in NYPD flacks shattered! [NYT/City Room]

cityfile · 09/19/08 11:38AMWhat's more important than anything in these uncertain times? Making sure that your kids are given the ruling class advantages of a private school education, even if it means starting up a school yourself!

Happy Birthday
