26 Students Arrested inProtest over Tuition Increases

this article caem from the new york times. This article was about 26 students being arrested for simply expreesing their opinions on the increase of tution at their local college that they attend. The students protest on a building causes classes to be cancelled and after 24 hours of protesting police took all of them into custody. They were charged with misdemeanors and released. Thirteen students were arrested inside the administration and classroom building, and 13 were arrested protesting outside. I beleive this relates to a form of social control because they are beingcontrolle dby these colleges to pay the tuition no matter what the price is and also it relates to sical control because they are being controlled by these police force and not being allowed to voice their opinions.
