Oakland Teach-In Looks at Budget Cuts and the War OAKLAND, Calif. - Third period at Paul Robeson High School in East Oakland was pretty much what you might expect on a sunny Thursday afternoon at the end of the term: distracted students, talk of graduation and nearly silent response to teachers' questions. Until, of course, the topic turned to the recent cuts in the state's education budget. "We don't have any money because it's all going to the war," said Ashley Lawless, a 18-year-old senior who moments before had been obsessively fixing her hair. "And now they're shutting all this stuff down."
