Hampton University Students Not Expelled After an Intense Political Battle

After an intense political battle, with thousands
signing on to the statement from World Can’t Wait, students from
Hampton and other campuses protesting, and all this breaking into the
media, the 7 students have not been expelled, but given 20 hours
community service.  Clearly the widespread protest had an impact.
It is still outrageous that these students were punished at all.  [click here for more]

Drop the Charges and Stop the Harassment Against the Hampton University Students Against the Bush Regime!
