If you are not familiar with the proposal coming out of the state government regarding privatizing and fianancializing community colleges in California please go to the website http://nosstf.blogspot.com and familiarize yourself with the issue.  One of the best fact sheets and analysis of the Orwellian named “Students Success Task Force” has been done by No SSTF at: http://nosstf.blogspot.com

In a never ending cascade of brutality, the forces of privatization and financialization are working harder than ever in concert with their lap-dog politicians to privatize education in the interest of Wall Street — this time the target is the 112 community colleges in the state of California that serve 2.6 million students. 
There is a video that you can see at the website http://nosstf.blogspot.com
