Students Protest Cantor's Speech at IOP

House Majority Leader Eric I. Cantor (R-Va.) spoke at the Institute of Politics Thursday night concerning proposed cuts to the federal budget, causing students to protest spending cuts to the AmeriCorps program. Dozens of students gathered in JFK Park before Cantor's scheduled talk, and then demonstrated in and around the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum while Cantor was speaking and answering questions.
