Students across the nation today are saying enough is enough. They're just plain fed up with the rising cost of education. They're protesting higher tuition cuts in student services and reductions in funding for higher education. This is Atlanta, Georgia where the university system plans a 35 percent tuition hike and a possible $1,000 student fee. In Colorado, lawmakers are looking at cutting $1.3 billion from their budget and higher education appears to be a key target. The movement to stop education cuts and tuition hikes came out of California. Fees at California's community colleges are up 30 percent this year and $1 billion plus is being cut from the state's university system. More nationwide demonstrations are actually expected today. An Internet blog called "Student Activism" says 122 events are planned in 33 states. And it's not just students who are raising the red flag about the future of education. Teachers in California say the state's budget troubles and education cuts have put so much stress on them that it's hard to teach.
