Hundreds of students walked out of class in Newark, New Jersey, on Tuesday to protest a wave of cutbacks at their schools.

Defying threats of punishment and chanting “Stand up, fight back,” the students marched to Rutgers Law School to protest outside a hearing on Gov. Chris Christie’s latest budget.
