BAMN taps youth for protest

Of all the days to forget my camera, it had to be during a protest by the pro-affirmative action group BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) in front of Sproul yesterday at Noon. As the Daily Cal reports here, more than 200 middle school and high school students from Berkeley and Oakland school districts came out to protest UC Berkeley's admissions policies that they claim caused a black student enrollment drop. Many of these students will be affected by these admissions policies this and in coming years, so it was good idea by BAMN to bring them out to directly protest the administration (also these students are more inclined to listen to BAMN than most of the students here at Berkeley).

If only the Daily Cal had a picture of some of these protesters though, you could have seen how small some of these kids were. A couple of them looked below middle school age. These kids didn't even look like they could say "affirmative."Email This Post!
