ANNAPOLIS - About two dozen teenagers were detained this afternoon during a rowdy protest outside the State House.

The students — who were calling for more funding for education — were cuffed with plastic bands after trying to carry a fake cardboard coffin up the steps of the State House.

A total of about 300 students attended the protest. All were from Baltimore City schools, and were brought to Annapolis on public school buses. One Baltimore City College teacher said students were allowed out of class to attend the protest.
