We don't need no education, We don't need no false Control, No Dark Sarcasm in the Classroom, teacher leave those kids alone, all in all you're just another brick in the wall All in all we're all just bricks in the wall

School kids across the UK walked out of lessons to
stage demonstrations against the start of the war with
Iraq starting on Thursday March 20th.

Hundreds joined crowds protesting at Westminster.
School kids have been played a big part in many
demonstrations across the UK while others have staged
their own protests at their schools.

In Carlisle, the police were called to a school after
hundreds of pupils staged an anti-war demonstration.
Around 200 11-to-16 year olds from the Caldew School
in Dalston marched into the centre of the village
chanting anti-war slogans.

A demonstration in Edinburgh caused extensive
disruption in the city centre. The demonstrators were
mainly school-age youngsters who gathered near the
Scottish Parliament and then split in to smaller
groups which stopped traffic Stirling University was
closed due to protest action.

There were two separate demonstrations in Belfast with
more than 1,000 students and schoolchildren mounting a
sit-down protest, blocking the road outside Queen's
University.

In Nottinghamshire, more than 100 pupils walked out of

lessons at West Bridgford School to stage a
demonstration on a nearby playing field.

In Manchester, about 200 school students joined a big
demonstration.

In Sheffield, two school children were arrested by
police for alleged criminal damage during a
demonstration.They occupied Lancaster town
hall, shut down the centre of Leamington Spa and took
to the streets.

Meanwhile a Manchester head teacher took up police
tactics to intimidate pupils who protested against the

war.

In Bristol, the centre of the city was gridlocked as
thousands joined protesting students in blocking
roads. Crowds pushed through police lines and the M32
was blockaded.

In Edinburgh, demos and student strikes started on the

Monday before the war broke out. Protesters stormed
the castle and Princes Street several times. Up to a
thousand school kids were holding a demonstration
inside school grounds in Glastonbury - supported by
the school authorities who even called the local media
to come and film the event.

Students rallied on campus in Keele, and in Leeds
council workers joined students for a day of protest,
and further actions took place in Aberdeen, Barnsley,
while in Cardiff evening protests brought the
city to a standstill, which were later attacked by
police

Near the City of London, kids blocked a road, whilst
over 400 schoolkids in Walthamstow were blocking
traffic and causing mayhem; demos of mainly schoolkids
all over the place. In Edinburgh, they
stopped the city centre. In Lewisham, schoolkids had a

walkout to demonstrate at the town hall. When many of
them took a bus to join the protests in Central London
they were violently stopped by the police. Most were
forced to go back to school but some were detained.
