Annapolis, MD. Public School students from around the state, but primarily from Baltimore City, gathered in Annapolis today to demand that the Thorton education funding remain intact and continue to come into the schools. The Thorton Education Bill is an attempt to level the playing field for Maryland's youth. Bystanders looked on with tight smiles as the crowd of over 400 surged passed them chanting, “We don't want your pity, we want money for our city!”
