In the classroom they actually had "simultaneous translation" going on, as the students' level was no where near up to the task. You can see it in action <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMoEe5BlILI" rel="nofollow">here</a>. What are they protesting? As you also mentioned, a simple civics course that tries to teach teens such nasty things as tolerance and alternative family structures. If education here in Spain wasn't poor enough...
