Hundreds of Students Stage Walkout Against Budgets Cuts in New Jersey 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Hundreds of students walked out of class in Newark, New Jersey, on
Tuesday to protest a wave of cutbacks at their schools. State budget
cuts in New Jersey have led to teacher layoffs, school closing and a
reduction in extracurricular programs. Defying threats of punishment and
chanting "Stand up, fight back," the students marched to Rutgers Law
School to protest outside a hearing on Gov. Chris Christie's latest
budget.
