"A few hundred college students gathered outside the Capitol here on Tuesday, shaking their fists and chanting, 'Education is a right,'" The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "Among the demonstrators was a women in a head scarf and a man with pink hair. All had come from campuses around the country for the United States Student Association's annual legislative conference, and they were eager to cap off three days of workshops by rallying and lobbying their representatives in Congress. The students' main message was plainly lettered on one of several dozen signs held high in the brisk wind: 'Education Should Be Your #1 Priority.' Using a bullhorn, two students shared their personal stories of working two or three jobs and racking up thousands of dollars in debt."
