As I have reported for the blog, Daily Censored, Catherine Ferguson Academy in Detroit was occupied by members of BAMN, students and teachers in an effort to stop its closure. You can see more about the direct action at www.dailycensored.com.
Here is the latest update on the issue:
UPDATE: The students and their teacher returned to school yesterday for the first time since the occupation, and so far, thanks in large part to the protection provided by the segment on the Rachel Maddow show, no disciplinary action has been taken against them.
