Yup, we are still on strike or something like that
My high brow alma mater is on strike or at least part of it. There were a sudden and unexpected awakening and severa PUC students have started to raise their voices in order to change the system or something like, They are trying to raise awareness in favour of social justice, equality and a fare educational system but their little voices are heard ony between themselves. They scream and speak loud but the external noise is more oppresive than their voices and sometimes it is really hard to listen among too many cries. I think it is really difficult to find some certainty between this one way discussion. A sort of catch 22 situation, I dare to say,

We are still on strike
This Wall painting summarizes the students' request . The Chilean State does not invest its gross income appropiately, consequently, Chilean education is dramatically meagre and helps to reproduce a system which encourages social injustice and inequality. At the same time, the Wall painting is an open irony against globalization. ( an pure example of the think globally, act locally philosophy)
THe quote belongs to John F. Kennedy and the translation says something like this: those who don't allow the pacific revolution, they will promote the violent revolution ( I know, it's a horrible translation but you can google the spanish version and find the original one)
