The goal was to kick off the project of a law aimed at changing the relations between the state and the private school (mainly catholics). The demonstration succeeded, mainly because people saw the law as against the free choice of a school for their children. It was more a fight for liberty than for a religion, even if liberty was not really threatened by the proposed law. -- Pascal Traverse UCLA Computer Science Department 3732 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, CA 90024 // (213) 825-4885 ARPA: trav@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA UUCP: ...!{cepu,ihnp4,trwspp,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!trav
