News Tribune: In Senate, students sing of displeasure over education cuts
Students from The Evergreen State College dressed in black funeral garb and sang a parody of “Amazing Grace” in the Senate gallery today to criticize state budget cuts.
After several warnings to not interrupt proceedings, Lt. Gov. Brad Owen tried to gavel down the group. The lyrics to the parody included the words, “The bright young minds of our country, Now wake to meet their doom; So why should we apply to school, When close ahead lies gloom?”
