About two dozen Baltimore City high school students from the Algebra Project were arrested on the steps of the State House on Wednesday after a demonstration on Lawyer?s Mall protesting Gov. Martin O?Malley?s reductions to growth in school aid.

Department of General Service police, who guard the buildings, and State Police troopers, who protect the members of the General Assembly, detained and handcuffed the students, but they were released later and not charged with any crime.
