Leiyang city government is running out of money. Their solution is to cut the size of the city schools and move most of the students to private schools, where they will be forced to pay hefty tuition. The parents do not want their children to be sent to private schools and began protesting on the street. Of course in China all protests are illegal. And they are met with brutal assault by the police.
I have an animated gif file showing the police attack but I don’t know how to upload it. Meanwhile, the media in the west is helping the Chinese government to justify the police violence by parroting the government lie that the protestors turned violent.
Journalists, please do your homework before writing a report.
