This is a crazy idea, but maybe public schools shouldn't have investments in the first place. It's even bordering on, dare I say it, state capitalism.

I'm sure that the protest size limits of 100 will be respected at a school with 55,000 students. This is definitely a realistic and effective strategy for them to take.
