Democracy Now!: Thur., March 4, 2010

Thousands of students are taking part in the National Day of Action to Defend Public Education -- University of California professor Ananya Roy and Ricardo Gomez  offer comment. We host a debate between Omar Barghouti, a founding member of the BDS campaign and a Palestinian human rights activist and commentator, and Rabbi Arthur Waskow, a longtime antiwar and civil rights activist who is the founder and director of the Shalom Center. Privacy and civil liberties groups sound alarm over the expanded role for the National Security Agency in cyber-security. Democracy Now! is a daily independent newshour.
